As we enter the homestretch of the 2024 regular season, the Pittsburgh Pirates are hoping to make a last-second push for one of the Wild Card spots in the National League. They fell in a big hole thanks to a 10-game losing streak, but have turned their fortunes around recently, winning two of their last three series including taking three-of-four from the Cincinnati Reds.
And now, more help is on the way. Monday afternoon, the team announced that rookie right-hander Jared Jones is scheduled to make his next start on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs. This will set up a Mitch Keller, Jared Jones, Paul Skenes rotation the rest of the way out with Bailey Falter and Luis Ortiz to follow.
Jones last pitched on July 3rd against the St. Louis Cardinals where he went five innings, allowing just one earned run. His pitch count for the night was at 78, so he probably had another inning or so in him but was pulled due to a right lat strain. It was later determined to be a Grade 2 strain, which landed him on the injured list.
In three rehab starts with Triple-A Indianapolis, Jones allowed six runs in eleven innings giving him an ERA of 4.91. His last time out, Jones struck out ten batters with only two Columbus Clippers reaching base (one hit, one walk).
Jones began the season as one of the best rookie pitchers in baseball having one of the best whiff rates in the league. The deeper he got into the season, teams started jumping on the fastball early in counts and the whiff rate dropped significantly. He’s a big piece of the Pirates future, so finishing the year strong, but healthy will be critical.
Tonight, the Pirates will send out Mitch Keller for game one against the Chicago Cubs. First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. EST.

Pittsburgh Steelers lose promising offensive tackle for several weeks with foot injury
![Pittsburgh Steelers lose promising offensive tackle for several weeks with foot injury Pittsburgh Steelers lose promising offensive tackle for several weeks with foot injury](https://www.pennlive.com/resizer/v2/KUG5CSKGRBCIBBEVQ7QSXDKEOM.jpg?auth=8ead2a6edcbd6034363e417c6f220cf7ae68225ca1e035e7b0f7d4ed21905c88&width=1280&quality=90)
The Pittsburgh Steelers will be without offensive tackle Dylan Cook for several weeks with a foot injury, ESPN first reported. Cook was seen in a boot following the team’s game against the Buffalo Bills and did not practice the entire week. He missed the final preseason game against the Detroit Lions.
Cook confirmed to PennLive that he would miss time with the injury on Wednesday. Now, that is seemingly confirmed as several weeks, which means Cook is a prime candidate to go on injured reserve to start the campaign.
The Steelers’ fourth tackle, Cook will likely be designated to return from injured reserve on cut-down day, meaning he will not have to be on the initial 53-man roster. That is a new rule created by the NFL this season, and each team can place two places on injured reserve and designate them to return. Cook would have to miss at least four weeks if that is the path the Steelers take.
As for the tackle position, this is another injury to that room for the Steelers. Troy Fautanu has an MCL sprain, and Broderick Jones is bothered by his elbow. Pittsburgh could look outside the organization to add someone to the offensive line, whether at backup center or tackle, to help with the injury issues. Regardless, Cook is someone who can play four spots and losing him hurts the Steelers’ depth across the board.
