The Pittsburgh Pirates (20-13) are at PNC Park on Saturday night to take on the Toronto Blue Jays (19-14) in game two of their three-game series. First pitch is at 6:35 PM.

Johan Oviedo (2-2, 4.78) will be on the mound for the Pirates, trying to bounce back from a rough start last time out. The Blue Jays are sending out 28-year-old right-hander Jose Berrios (2-3, 5.29) for his seventh start of the season.

Andrew McCutchen is still out of the lineup, after suffering a left ankle sprain while getting ready for yesterday’s game.

**Anthony Murphy had a live look at Altoona yesterday and shared his thoughts this morning.

**In case you missed it from late last night, here’s the daily Prospect Watch, with a big day for some hitters in Indianapolis.

**Here’s our weekly Saturday look at how the 2023 draft is shaping up. This one looks at the strengths and weaknesses of the draft class.

**It’s been a rough two days for catchers in Greensboro…

Remember how yesterday’s umpire scorecard was a bigger disaster than the Twitter page of Anthony Bass? Well, last night’s game looks like a normal umpire scorecard

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
