By Charlie Wright and Leo Morgenstern | at September 12, 2026 5:53pm CDT The Pirates placed outfielder Esmerlyn Valdez on the 10-day injured list today before their afternoon matchup with the Cubs.

Pittsburgh’s chances of making the playoffs are slim to none, but this is still a disappointing blow for an offense that has suffered several notable injuries this season. Valdez suffered the in...

In their last 13 games, the Chicago White Sox are batting .192/.295/.335 and have scored just 40 runs. For an offense that is sputtering and seeking a spark somewhere in the lineup, manager Will Venable made a significant shuffle for tonight's game in St. Louis. Colson Montgomery is batting eighth for the first time this season, and Kyle Teel is batting second behind Sam Antonacci.
While there will be plenty of attention on how the offense fares against St. Louis starter Kyle Leahy, tonight ...
