Williams went 1-for-4 with a stolen base Thursday against the Brewers. The 25-year-old was in the lineup for the 10th time this season, as he stepped in at second base while Jared Triolo shifted to third in place of a resting Ke'Bryan Hayes. Williams has at least one hit in all but one of his starts this season, but he remains a bench option for Pittsburgh despite hitting .323 (10-for-31).... See More ... See Less

Pirates' Alika Williams: Looks to be on Opening Day roster
Williams is expected to make the Opening Day roster after Liover Peguero was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Ji Hwan Bae (hip) is also sidelined and could be headed for an injured list stint to begin the regular season. That leaves Williams as Pittsburgh's projected primary backup in the middle infield. His primary asset is his glove, so even on days when Williams is in the lineup, he doesn't project to have much fantasy appeal.... See More ... See Less -
Pirates' Alika Williams: Optioned to Triple-A
The Pirates optioned Williams to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday. Williams went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts the last time he appeared in Pittsburgh's starting lineup Saturday at Cincinnati and owns a rough .198/.270/.248 batting line over 112 major-league plate appearances this year. Nick Gonzales will fill his roster spot leading into the final week of the 2023 campaign.... See More ... See Less -
Pirates' Alika Williams: Absent from lineup again
Williams is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals. Williams has now started just two of the last six games and four of the previous 10 contests. Liover Peguero is at shortstop Thursday and appears to have usurped Williams as the preferred option at the position for the Pirates.... See More ... See Less -
Pirates' Alika Williams: On bench Wednesday
Williams is absent from the lineup Wednesday versus the Nationals. Liover Peguero will start at shortstop and bat seventh as Jared Triolo handles second base and hits ninth. Williams, 24, has slashed just .217/.294/.272 through his first 103 major-league plate appearances this season with the Pirates.... See More ... See Less -
Pirates' Alika Williams: On bench again Sunday
Williams is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Williams is 3-for-16 with five strikeouts over his past eight contests and will hit the bench Sunday for the second consecutive game. Liover Peguero will receive another start at shortstop while Ji Hwan Bae mans the keystone.... See More ... See Less -
Pirates' Alika Williams: Not starting Saturday
Williams isn't in the Pirates' lineup Saturday against Atlanta, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Williams will get a breather Saturday after going 2-for-5 with three strikeouts across his last two games. Liover Peguero will slide to shortstop while Williams is out, allowing Jared Triolo to start at second base and bat eighth.... See More ... See Less -
Pirates' Alika Williams: Not starting Friday
Williams isn't in the Pirates' lineup Friday against the Cardinals. The Pirates seem to have fallen into a pattern of rotating between Williams and Liover Peguero at shortstop over the past several days. Friday will mark Peguero's turn to start at short while Ji Hwan Bae starts at second base.... See More ... See Less -
Pirates' Alika Williams: Sitting Tuesday
Williams isn't in the Pirates' lineup Tuesday against the Royals. After an 0-for-4 performance during Monday's series opener, Williams will take a seat for Tuesday's contest. Liover Peguero will get the nod at shortstop and bat seventh.... See More ... See Less -
Pirates' Alika Williams: Retreats to bench Sunday
Williams is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs. Williams will take a seat after he started each of the Pirates' last seven games at shortstop while going 5-for-20 with two doubles, two walks, two runs and two RBI. Liover Peguero will spell him at shortstop in the series finale, but Williams appears to be the Pirates' preferred option at the position since Ji Hwan Bae returned from the injured list to take over as the Bucs' primary second baseman....

Pirates' Alika Williams: Gets Saturday off
Williams isn't in the Pirates' lineup Saturday against the Twins, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. After collecting a base hit in each of his last two games, Williams will take a seat Saturday against Sonny Gray and the Twins. Liover Peguero will take over at shortstop and bat eighth....

Pirates' Alika Williams: Sitting Sunday
Williams is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers. Williams appears to have settled in as the Pirates' primary shortstop after starting at the position in each of the last five games while going 7-for-15 with two doubles, three walks and two runs. However, the rookie will be getting a breather for Sunday's series finale while Liover Peguero shifts over from the keystone to replace the resting Williams at shortstop.... See More ... See Less -
Pirates' Alika Williams: Getting look at shortstop
Williams went 2-for-3 with a double Tuesday against the Tigers. Williams has started four of the last five games at shortstop, pairing up with Liover Peguero to make up the Pirates' middle infield. That leaves Nick Gonzales as the odd man out for the time being, though Pittsburgh has shuffled playing time at the positions regularly this season. Williams is regarded as a big-league player primarily for his defense, and he has three hits through the first 12 at-bats of his big-league career.... See More ... See Less -
Pirates' Alika Williams: Heads to bench Sunday
Williams is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Williams will take a seat for the series finale after he started at shortstop in each of the past three games while going 1-for-9 with an RBI. Though Nick Gonzales and Liover Peguero will draw starts at the two middle-infield spots Sunday and appear to be the Pirates' preferred options at the positions for the time being, neither player has produced well enough yet to run away with an everyday role. As such, look for Williams to stay involved and occasionally poach starts from one of the two players while he's up with the big club.... See More ... See Less -
Pirates' Alika Williams: Officially promoted
The Pirates selected Williams from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports. With Tucupita Marcano (knee) landing on the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Williams will be called upon to add depth to the Pirates' infield unit. Williams has been impressive during his time in Triple-A, slashing .305/.384/.531 across 148 plate appearances, though he likely won't receive many starts while with the big-league club....

Pirates' Alika Williams: Goes to Pittsburgh in trade
The Pirates acquired Williams from the Rays on Friday in exchange for Robert Stephenson, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports. The 24-year-old has slashed .237/.314/.417 with five homers and three steals for Double-A Montgomery this season and has just a .714 OPS at the level for his career. Williams was the 37th overall pick in 2020, but scouting reports that suggested he would be a glove-first shortstop have so far proven accurate.... See More ... See Less

Alex Stumpf@AlexJStumpf4H agoIt's safe to say the Internet wants the Pirates to be more aggressive at the plate. So does Andy Haines. I talked to the Pirates' hitting coach about the team's struggles of late, and what the messaging/work process is to try to get the offense going. https://t.co/Bc1opsSN6t

Jason Mackey@JMackeyPG8H agoThe Pirates are teetering. It’s hard to make a baseball season about one series or homestand, especially in May. But they also need to get right fast. My column: https://t.co/Ft8fEFb4Gx

Jason Mackey@JMackeyPG18H agoWhen hired, Pirates' new regime talked about being player-centric, avoiding one-size-fits-all approaches. What happened? Offensively, it's seeing pitches, working walks & big on swing mechanics. Hard to see how that helps naturally aggressive & more feel-centric hitters.

Jason Mackey@JMackeyPG19H agoPirates started 20-8 last year. Proceeded to go 5-16. Were 25-24 after 49 GP. This year, started 9-2. In the middle of another 5-16 skid. Currently 14-18. Then again, they had two 5-17 stretches in '22. So much for shortening long losing periods.

Alex Stumpf@AlexJStumpf20H ago“We’re never trying to take a pitch over the heart of the strike zone. … We’re trying to hammer the stuff over the middle of the plate and take the best swing at it.” I talked to Andy Haines about the Pirates’ hitting struggles and his messaging/approach https://t.co/Bc1opsSN6t

Jason Mackey@JMackeyPG23H agoMaybe the Pirates can just call up Paul Skenes -- have not heard anything, otherwise I would report it -- and have him DH on the days he doesn't start. (Kidding, sorta) Remember this: https://t.co/5Qd3PKm0yw

Jason Mackey@JMackeyPG23H agoUnreal. Pirates have now lost 16 of their last 21. Their run differential in that time: -41.

Alex Stumpf@AlexJStumpf23H agoThat's game. A's 4, Pirates 0. The offense had a chance to tie or take the lead in the seventh and eighth, but they couldn't produce. Quinn Priester allowed a couple of solo HR, but turns in a quality start. Pirates are swept by A's and go 1-5 on west coast trip. They are 14-18
