Pirates star Paul Skenes named cover athlete of popular baseball video game
The yearly series that lets you step onto the diamond as a player on your favorite baseball team announced its cover athletes on Monday; this is the first time in the series' existence that more than one athlete will be on the same cover.
11-year-old finds incredibly rare Paul Skenes rookie card
Skenes joins Cincinnati Reds Shortstop Elly De La Cruz and Baltimore Orioles Third-Baseman Gunnar Henderson on the cover. This is the first time since 2013 that any of these teams have made the cover in the U.S. when Pirates star Andrew McCutchen made the cut decked out in the Black and Gold. Former Pirate Jung-ho Kang also made the cover in 2016 for the game's release in South Korea.
Early Access for MLB: The Show 25 opens up on March 14 with the full game set to release on March 18, just two weeks prior to the Pirates' Opening Day game on April 4 against the New York Yankees.

Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña to take big step toward return from injury
The post Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña to take big step toward return from injury appeared first on ClutchPoints. Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña will work out with the team on Monday and begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Sugar Land, according to Julia Morales of Space City Home Network. Peña has not played since June 27 after sustaining a rib fracture on a hit by pitch. He took live batting practice at the team's minor league facility in West Palm Beach over the weekend before joining the team in Houston as they prepare to play the Washington Nationals. Astros manager Joe Espada updated the media on Saturday about Peña's progress. 'He's taking his ground balls, doing his base running — he's really, really close,' Espada said, per the Houston Chronicle's Matt Kawahara. 'Can't wait to have him back.' Peña is in the midst of his first All-Star season at age 27. In 82 games, he's hitting .322 with 11 home runs and an .867 OPS and is a major reason why the Astros are in first place in the American League West. Houston is coming off a four-game sweep at the hands of the last-place Athletics and are 10-12 in July as the team navigates a spate of injuries. 'The injuries are part of where we're at as a club right now, but that's no excuse,' Espada said after the A's series. 'We've got to fight through this. While we wait for some of those players to return, we've got to find ways to continue to win games, and we have done that. Just in this series, we couldn't get it done.' Peña is also one of five players from Houston's Opening Day lineup that is currently on the shelf. Isaac Paredes, Yordan Alvarez, Jake Meyers and Brendan Rodgers are all on the injured list, and none appears as close to a return as Peña. Alvarez took 50 swings off a tee and did soft toss in the batting cage last week, however, and he may be next to return. Peña, meanwhile, could be back as soon as Friday when the Astros open up a nine-game road trip in Boston. The trip will also take them to New York to play the Yankees.

Pirates Reportedly Begin Initial Paul Skenes Contract Extension Talks
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Pittsburgh Pirates have reportedly started conversations with superstar pitcher Paul Skenes over a contract extension. In an appearance on 93.7 The Fan, Dan Zangrilli, the team's pregame and postgame show host, explained how the organization is in the early stages but notes it will take a lot of work. DENVER, CO - AUGUST 2: Starting pitcher Paul Skenes #30 of the Pittsburgh Pirates delivers a pitch in the fourth inning against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on August 2, 2025 in Denver, Colorado. DENVER, CO - AUGUST 2: Starting pitcher Paul Skenes #30 of the Pittsburgh Pirates delivers a pitch in the fourth inning against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on August 2, 2025 in Denver, Colorado."I think that they look at it as a long shot, an uphill battle, but that's not going to deter them from trying," Zangrilli said on the show. "I think they're absolutely going to try. Now, how successful, obviously I'm sure they view it as an uphill battle, it likely is. But again, the money they've presumably freed up is maybe allocated to try to extend this window." Everyone in baseball knows the Pirates are going to be extremely lucky if they keep Skenes beyond 2029 when his rookie contract ends. He's the best pitcher in baseball currently among qualified starters with a 2.02 ERA. Skenes has already been vocal about the organization's lack of ambition at the trade deadline, and he hopes the plan is to add some offense in the offseason. Zangrilli also provided some general guidelines of a potential deal. "They have to realize the full value of his contract, Zangrilli said on The Fan. "I believe the one way you can get something done is it has to be super creative and what it has to do is, it has to yes, guarantee all of these six years but also have some sort of opt out in there. Maybe he gives you plus one at a seventh (season) so you can fully truly realize all of those years of control." It'll take a lot for the Pirates to keep Skenes in Pittsburgh. However, losing Skenes to a team like the Los Angeles Dodgers or New York Yankees could suck out the little enthusiasm that remains about the Pirates. More MLB: Padres GM A.J.

Cubs make immediate roster move after Taylor Rogers trade
The post Cubs make immediate roster move after Taylor Rogers trade appeared first on ClutchPoints. This will be a day Ryan Pressly won't soon forget. Shortly after the Chicago Cubs acquired reliever Taylor Rogers in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Pressly was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster. Pressly, who has 13 seasons in the big leagues and is a two-time All-Star, was expected to be the last piece of the bullpen puzzle when Chicago acquired him from Houston in January. However, he did not perform to the expectations, and by mid-May, Daniel Palencia passed him as the go-to option for ninth-inning situations. The numbers throughout the season told a clear and concerning story. In 44 appearances out of the bullpen, Pressly posted a 4.35 ERA, a 2–3 record, and five saves over 41.1 innings pitched. His 15.4% strikeout rate was his lowest mark since 2014, while his 9.3% walk rate marked a personal worst since 2015. Advanced metrics throughout the year suggested that his results could continue declining, especially after rough outings following the All-Star break. Ryan Pressly's designation for assignment came directly from the Cubs' recent trade with the Pirates, which brought Taylor Rogers and some cash considerations to Chicago in exchange for minor-league outfielder Ivan Brethowr. Because Pressly has accumulated over 11 years of Major League service, he cannot be sent to the minors without his consent. With approximately $4.5 million remaining on his contract for the rest of the season, the DFA is widely expected to end with his release, giving the Cubs more roster flexibility heading into the final stretch. Meanwhile, in a separate roster adjustment, the Cubs also placed catcher Miguel Amaya on the 60-day injured list to open up a spot for newly acquired superutilityman Willi Castro, who arrived in a trade with the Minnesota Twins. With Pressly off the roster and Rogers added to the bullpen group, Chicago's 40-man roster currently stands at full capacity as the team prepares for the season's final stretch.
