Contreras's line: 3.1 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K's, 0 HR, 30.3% CSW%

Connor Joe hits a towering two-run home run, his first home run of Spring Training. Pirates lead, 2-0.

Deleted the previous tweet to be more clear: Bryan Reynolds said there's nothing new to report on the contract extension front. Reynolds added that if the two sides could agree on a deal, he’d like it done before Opening Day. "If I was drawing it up, it would be pretty firm."

The Pirates have optioned INF Tucupita Marcano and OF Travis Swaggerty to Triple-A Indianapolis. There are 38 players remaining in Major League camp.

Henry Davis will begin this season with Double-A Altoona, while Endy Rodriguez will begin with Triple-A Indianapolis, per manager Ben Cherington. Cherington said the decision was made solely because Davis and Rodriguez both need to catch every day.

Just horrible news. Harvey is the reason I majored in Asian American Studies, and I was always fascinated by the depth of literature at Eastwind. I'm grateful to have had an opportunity to MC there this past winter. Eastwind Books forever! twitter.com/iriskkwok/stat…

you may know the name Dylan Crews as a top candidate to go 1-1 in the 2023 Draft but I'm not sure we are talking enough about just how ridiculous he's been this season thru 21 games for @LSUbaseball he's hitting -- and this is not a joke -- .515/.656/.926

For those of you who missed yesterday's game, here's Canaan Smith-Njigba threatening to steal second base after drawing a walk in the ninth inning of yesterday's game: mlb.com/pirates/video/…
