Nothing has changed in the prognosis for the 25-year-old backstop, this was merely done as a procedural move to free up a spot on the team’s 40-man roster for the addition of Michael Darrell-Hicks on Friday afternoon. There’s still no word on how long the Pirates expect him to be sidelined for, though he now won’t be eligible to return until the middle of August.

Davis’s two balls in play today were hit 103.3 and 108.0 mph. The first was a 373-foot flyout, but his double in the eighth barely missed being a homer. He came around to score on a fielder’s choice afterwards to break a scoreless tie. He later walked in the 10th, when the Pirates scored the go-ahead run on a double-play ball from Oneil Cruz. Joey Bart is nearly ready to return from a concussion, so Davis is set to return to a backup role within the next couple of days.

The Cubs couldn’t break through against Skenes, but they did at least make him throw 95 pitches in five innings. Alas, getting him out of the game only did so much good, as they were limited to one run afterwards, and the Pirates won in extras to improve to 7-8 in Skenes’s starts. Skenes himself remained 4-6 after departing a scoreless game. He’s allowed one or no runs in seven straight starts, yet he’s 1-2 during that span.

Needing to strand the automatic runner, Bednar got Ian Happ to ground out, Kyle Tucker to pop out and Seiya Suzuki to ground out to end it. He’s up to nine straight scoreless appearances now, and in spite of his Triple-A exile in April, he stands poised to be one of the most popular players at this year’s trade deadline.

The 24-year-old southpaw had been pitching for the Mississippi Mud Monsters in the independent Frontier League where he registered a 3.86 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and a 29/3 K/BB ratio across 16 1/3 innings in his nine appearances. He’ll add bullpen depth in the minor leagues for the Rockies.

Contreras doubled in a run in the fourth, and he was able to give the Brewers a 2-1 lead in the sixth with a sac fly. It’s been a disappointing season for Contreras even before you consider the lofty expectations, as he’s still slashing just .239/.346/.340. It’s reasonable — if not probable — that Contreras will pick things up over the second half of 2025.
