Pirates Share Update on Jared Jones
Jared Jones second season with the Pittsburgh Pirates is over before it started. Jones underwent elbow surgery and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 season.
The club's senior director of sport medicine Todd Tomczyk announced to reporters it was to address his ailing right elbow. Tomczyk did clarify that the decision to pursue surgery was made following last week's setback.

"After a lot of contemplation, a lot of learning from multiple experts in and outside the industry, ultimately, Jared and his team, in support of the Pirates, decided to proceed with surgery to the right elbow-forearm complex," Tomczyk said.

Jones suffered a right UCL sprain in Spring Training. After six weeks of rest, Jones started throwing again at the end of April, with the hope being that he could throw off a slop by the end of May.
Late last week, Jones started to experiences recurring symptoms when he was throwing out to 100 feet. The right-hander reconvened with Dr. Keith Meister on Tuesday, after which Jones agreed that surgery was the best option moving forward.

Jones emerged as one of the club's top young arms last season. He went 6-8 with a 4.14 ERA and 132 strikeouts over 121 1/3 innings, though he did miss time because of a lat injury.
It's a massive sting for the Pirates. Pittsburgh has a good collection of pitching in both the majors in minors.

Nick Gonzales' sacrifice fly lifts Pirates to win over Phillies
Adam Frazier had three hits and scored the winning run on Nick Gonzales's sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, helping the Pittsburgh Pirates rally for a 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night. David Bednar (1-4) struck out the side in the ninth for the Pirates. Frazier and Jared Triolo started the ninth with singles off Jordan Romano (0-3). Isiah Kiner-Falefa loaded the bases with a bunt before Oneil Cruz struck out looking. Gonzales then lifted a 2-2 slider to the warning track, allowing Frazier to score. Trea Turner gave Philadelphia an early lead, getting on with a single for his first of three hits and taking third on a double steal in the first before scoring on a grounder from Nick Castellanos. The Pirates' Bryan Reynolds hit an RBI single the next inning. Turner hit a double to right and Alec Bohm brought him in with a single to left, putting the Phillies back ahead 2-1 in the third. Reynolds tied it again with his eighth home run of the season into the left-field bleachers. Turner drove in two with a two-out single for a 4-2 lead in the fourth. Henry Davis answered with a two-run homer the same inning. Matt Strahm struck out the side for the Phillies in the eighth. Bednar immediately matched him in the ninth, capped by getting Turner to whiff on a curveball in the dirt. Pirates starter Bailey Falter allowed four runs on five hits in 3 2/3 innings. Chase Shugart, Caleb Ferguson, Dennis Santana and Bednar combined to give up two hits and one walk with eight strikeouts the rest of the way. Endy Rodríguez left due to right elbow discomfort and continues to be evaluated, the Pirates said.
