The Pittsburgh Pirates have announced a scheduling adjustment for pitcher Paul Skenes, pushing back his next appearance by several days. Originally slated to take the mound on Sunday, Skenes will now make his next start on Wednesday instead.
Pirates management cited recovery needs as the reason for the extended rest period. By delaying Skenes’ start, the team aims to allow the pitcher additional time to recuperate between outings.
The move comes as the Pirates’ postseason aspirations continue to diminish. With playoff chances slipping away, the organization appears focused on managing Skenes’ workload heading into the final stretch of the season, prioritizing his long-term health over immediate competition.
