Burrows has a chance to make the Pirates' roster out of spring training, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows hasn't had overwhelming success this spring, allowing four earned runs with only a 4:3 K:BB across five innings. However, he remains in camp with the big-league club despite other of the team's top pitching prospects such as Bubba Chandler and Hunter Barco already being reassigned. If Burrows does make the roster, he'd likely begin in long relief, but he should be an option to make spot starts throughout the campaign.

Burrows (1-0) allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and three walks while striking out two to earn the win Saturday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows followed Paul Skenes into the game to make his major-league debut. Despite his final line, he began 11 of the 14 batters he faced with a strike and managed to throw 60 percent of his pitches over the plate. Most importantly, he has proved healthy and capable of handling a normal workload across the second half of the season after returning from Tommy John surgery. That should put him in a position to compete for a rotation spot in 2025.

The Pirates recalled Burrows from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows has spent nearly the entire season with Indianapolis, posting a 4.06 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across 37.2 innings. Although he was used primarily as a starter, he'll most likely be used in a multi-inning role out of the bullpen with Pittsburgh. If he's able to get into one of the team's final two regular-season games, the 24-year-old righty will be making his MLB debut.

Burrows has been added to the Pirates' taxi squad prior to Friday's game against the Yankees, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

While he is not on the active roster yet, it seems likely that could happen sometime this weekend. Burrows, 24, holds a 4.06 ERA and 45:15 K:BB over 37.2 innings this season at Triple-A Indianapolis and would be making his major-league debut should he get into a game.

Triple-A Indianapolis reinstated Burrows (elbow) from its 60-day injured list Tuesday and assigned him to the rookie-level Florida Complex League.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows had been on the shelf all season while he completed his recovery from April 2023 Tommy John surgery. He began a rehab assignment in the FCL on June 17 and later moved on to Single-A Bradenton, posting a 7.36 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB in 11 innings across his five rehab starts. Though Burrows appears to be fully healthy again, the Pirates will have him stick around in Florida a little longer to iron out the kinks before he's deemed ready to reclaim a spot in the Triple-A rotation.

Burrows (elbow) had his rehab assignment transferred from the rookie-level Florida Complex League to Single-A Bradenton on Friday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows continues to work his way back from Tommy John surgery from April of 2023. He made his first rehab outing in the rookie-level FCL on Monday, when he gave up three runs on one hit and two walks over 1.1 innings. Burrows is expected to start for Bradenton early next week.

Burrows (elbow) began a rehab assignment Monday in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, covering 1.1 innings while allowing three earned runs on one hit and two walks.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows' appearance was his first in affiliated ball since April 8, 2023, as the right-hander had been shut down ever since undergoing Tommy John surgery later that month. He currently resides on Triple-A Indianapolis' 60-day injured list and will eventually rejoin the Pirates' top affiliate once he completes an extended rehab assignment in the lower levels of the minors. Expect Burrows to remain in Florida for at least another week or two while he continues to build up his pitch count and looks to regain his pre-surgery command and velocity.

The Pirates optioned Burrows to the minor leagues Friday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows had his 2023 season cut short when he underwent Tommy John surgery in late April. The right-hander will start the 2024 season in the minors and look to work his way up to the majors.

Burrows underwent surgery Wednesday to repair damage to the UCL in his right elbow, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was Tommy John surgery, per a followup report Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com, and Burrows is expected to be sidelined for the next 14-to-16 months. The 23-year-old had logged just two starts this season at Triple-A Indianapolis before his UCL gave out. He was an 11th-round pick in the 2018 First-Year Player Draft.

Triple-A Indianapolis placed Burrows (forearm) on its 7-day injured list April 11.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows' move to the IL was fully expected after Pirates general manager Ben Cherington disclosed that the right-hander suffered a forearm injury in his second outing of the season for Indianapolis back on April 8. The 23-year-old is without a definitive timeline for a return.
