David Bednar - Shaky in 19th save Bednar allowed a run on two hits and two walks over one inning, earning the save in Monday's 5-3 win over the Astros.
Impact Bednar had a three-run lead to protect, but he made things hairy. He allowed three straight batters to reach with one out, then walked Yordan Alvarez with the bases loaded and two outs. Yainer Diaz's popout ended the threat as Bednar escaped with his third save over five appearances since he returned from an oblique strain. The right-hander is 19-for-22 in save chances this year despite a 4.95 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 36:10 K:BB over 36.1 innings.

Jalen Beeks - Dealt to Pittsburgh The Rockies acquired Beeks from the Pirates on Monday in exchange for left-hander Luis Peralta, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
Impact Beeks will head to Pittsburgh after compiling a 4.74 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with 38 strikeouts over 49.1 innings in 45 appearances with the Rockies so far this season. The left-hander has made the full-time switch to being a relief pitcher in 2024, going 9-for-16 on save opportunities while also securing five holds with Colorado. Beeks may serve in more of a middle-innings role after joining a more talented bullpen in Pittsburgh.

Connor Joe - Back on bench in Reynolds' return Joe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.
Impact Joe had picked up starts in three of the Pirates' last four games, but his run of regular playing time will likely come to an end after Bryan Reynolds (personal) reinstated from the bereavement list Monday. The Pirates should still clear a spot in the lineup for the right-handed-hitting Joe against left-handed pitching more often than not.

Jared Triolo - Getting second straight start Triolo will start at second base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Astros.
Impact Triolo will draw a second straight start at second base and could serve as the Pirates' primary option at the position in the wake of Nick Gonzales' (groin) placement on the injured list. With a .198/.272/.266 slash line to go with four home runs, four stolen bases, 25 RBI and 20 runs over 279 plate appearances this season, Triolo hasn't provided much to get excited about for fantasy purposes when given regular playing time.
