The Pirates optioned Cheng to Double-A Altoona on Tuesday. Cheng earned a spot on the Pirates' 40-man roster earlier this offseason but was always destined to return to the minors to begin 2024. The 22-year-old is probably another year or so away from reaching the big leagues.... See More ... See Less

Pirates' Tsung-Che Cheng: Gets 40-man spot
The Pirates selected Cheng to their 40-man roster Tuesday. Cheng got off to a hot start in the first half of the season with High-A Greensboro, slashing .308/.406/.575 across 253 plate appearances. However, his OPS fell to .656 upon being promoted to Double-A Altoona in late June. A spot on the 40-man roster will prevent Cheng from being taken in next month's Rule 5 Draft, and he will likely return to Altoona to begin 2024.... See More ... See Less -
Pirates' Tsung-Che Cheng: Promoted to Double-A
Cheng was promoted to Double-A Altoona on Thursday, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports. Cheng had a dominant 57-game run for High-A Greensboro, slashing .308/.406/.575 with nine home runs, 13 steals and a 47:35 K:BB in 254 plate appearances. Trimming his groundball rate to 42.1 percent and upping his flyball rate from 28.9% to 34.1% has helped fuel Cheng's improvement as a power hitter. The 5-foot-7 infielder fits best at second base long term.... See More ... See Less -
Pirates' Tsung-Che Cheng: Lifting, pulling at High-A
Cheng has a .262/.382/.524 slash line with four home runs, nine steals and an 18.5 percent strikeout rate in 29 games for High-A Greensboro. The 5-foot-7 infielder has split time evenly at shortstop and second base for the Grasshoppers, and his likely long-term home is the keystone. Cheng's command of the strike zone has been impeccable dating back to 2021 when he was in complex ball, but this power output is unexpected for the 21-year-old. He has the highest pull (46.9 percent) and flyball (37.2 percent) rates of his career.... See More ... See Less

Jason Mackey@JMackeyPG5H agoFor the sake of transparency and accuracy, I said on @937theFan earlier this morning that I thought the Pirates would make a move with Rowdy Tellez. Subsequently got a call from a source saying they’re not, at least not now, and expect to see Tellez at PNC tonight, in uniform.

Alex Stumpf@AlexJStumpf2D agoThat's game. Pirates 3, Cubs 2. Mitch Keller with a quality start. One of the best pitching series I've ever covered for this rotation. A Jack Suwinski homer and Nick Gonzales bases loaded single was just enough offense to get by. Pirates win the series and leave Chicago 22-26.
