Top Pirates pitching prospect Bubba Chandler made a strong MLB debut, pitching four shutout innings and potentially moving into a rotation role in 2026. The team is also evaluating infielder Jared Triolo's shortstop ability and considering infield help in the offseason, while managing catcher Endy Rodriguez's recovery from elbow surgery and future role.
Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Endy Rodríguez will miss the entire 2024 season after undergoing surgery to repair his UCL and flexor tendon in his throwing arm. Rodríguez, considered one of the sport's top catching prospects, suffered the injury while playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic. The Pirates had planned to give Rodríguez the primary catching role, but his absence opens the door for Henry Davis, the team's 2021 first overall pick, to assume the starting position. The Pirates' other options include light-hitting defenders Ali Sánchez and Jason Delay, or exploring veteran catchers in free agency.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have reached a one-year, $3.2 million contract agreement with first baseman/designated hitter Rowdy Tellez, who can earn up to $800,000 in performance bonuses. However, catcher Endy Rodríguez will miss the entire 2024 season due to reconstructive surgery on his right elbow. The 23-year-old Rodríguez, considered a key player for the Pirates' future, suffered the injury while playing in the Dominican Republic. The team will likely rely on Henry Davis, Jason Delay, and Ali Sanchez to fill the catching position. Tellez, a left-hander, hit .215 with 13 home runs and 47 RBIs for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2023.
Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Endy Rodriguez has undergone elbow surgery, which will cause him to miss the entire 2024 season. The surgery was a result of an injury suffered while playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic. Rodriguez's performance in his brief MLB stint showed potential, with strong defense and leadership skills, but his offensive numbers were lacking. The Pirates have signed Ali Sanchez and may move Henry Davis back to catcher to address the lack of depth in the position.

The Pirates' recent youth movement also includes the call-ups of Henry Davis, Nick Gonzales, and Carmen Mlodzinski.
