Pirates' Wyatt Sanford: Back in action at Greensboro
Sanford (hand) has gone 3-for-9 with four walks, two stolen bases and two runs in three games for High-A Greensboro since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Friday.
Sanford was on the shelf for just over a month while recovering from a hand injury. The 20-year-old shortly has cobbled together a .289/.434/.529 slash line with 10 home runs and 23 stolen bases in 51 games at Greensboro this season.

Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Struggling out of break
Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a double Sunday against the Mets.
Reynolds has struggled out of the All-Star break, going just 19-for-90 (.211) across 22 games. Even when he has collected hits, they haven't been for much damage, as he has seven total extra-base hits -- including one home run -- with only four RBI in that span. Despite the slow stretch, Reynolds is still hitting .268 with 80 runs scored, 63 RBI and 15 home runs across 522 plate appearances for the season.

Pirates' Konnor Griffin: Taking part in baseball activities
The Pirates announced July 31 that Griffin (finger) has resumed participating in baseball activities, including playing catch and taking right-handed swings against a Trajekt machine, MLB.com reports.
Griffin is about four and a half weeks into a six-week immobilization period for his left ring finger sagittal band injury, but he'll still be able to do some light activities during that time. Once the six weeks are up around the middle of August, Griffin could be cleared for more intense workouts as he gears up for a potential return from the 60-day injured list in early September. While Griffin remains out, Jacob Gonzalez is expected to see the bulk of the reps at shortstop for the Pirates.

Pirates' Termarr Johnson: Sustains knee injury at Triple-A
Johnson was removed from Triple-A Indianapolis' game against Iowa on Saturday after four innings due to an apparent left knee injury, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.
Johnson sustained the injury while tumbling over first base as he attempted to beat out a grounder for an infield single in the bottom of the fourth. Per Jason Mackey of MLB.com, Johnson needed to be carted off the field and was fitted for an air cast. The Pirates haven't provided an updated diagnosis for Johnson, but the knee issue seems likely to force the 22-year-old to Indianapolis' injured list.

Pirates' Jared Jones: Rough day vs. New York
Jones (2-4) took the loss Sunday against the Mets, allowing eight runs on six hits and three walks over three innings. He struck out three.
It was a rough outing for the 25-year-old Jones, who's now lost three straight starts while giving up 11 runs in just seven innings across his last two outings. Jones' ERA is up to 5.03 through 13 starts (59 innings) this season with a 1.20 WHIP and 65:19 K:BB. He'll look to turn things around his next time out, currently lined up for next week at home against the Red Sox.

Pirates' Ronny Simon: Logs two RBI in Saturday's win
Simon went 2-for-5 with a two-run double and a steal during the Pirates' 9-0 win over the Mets on Saturday.
Simon recorded his first RBI of the season when his double in the first inning brought both Spencer Horwitz and Bryan Reynolds home. Simon also registered his first steal of the year in the third inning before coming home to score later in the frame. The 26-year-old outfielder has started in each of Pittsburgh's last three games and will continue to see extended reps for as long as both Oneil Cruz (hand) and Ryan O'Hearn (quadriceps) are on the IL.

Pirates' Brandon Lowe: Goes long in Saturday's win
Lowe went 1-of-4 with a walk, a solo homer and an additional run scored during the Pirates' 9-0 win over the Mets on Saturday.

It was his second homer in three games and 25th of the year, marking his third major-league season with at least 25 home runs. Lowe has an .807 OPS with two steals and 74 RBI over 490 plate appearances this season.

Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Collects three RBI vs. Mets
Gonzales went 1-for-5 with a double and three RBI during the Pirates' 9-0 win over the Mets on Saturday.
Gonzales got the Pirates on the board with an RBI in the first inning before extending the team's lead to 8-0 with a two-run double in the fourth. His three RBI matched a season high that he set against the Astros on June 3, and he has gone 6-for-15 with two extra-base hits over his last four games. On the year, Gonzales is slashing .309/.362/.402 with five steals, six home runs and 53 RBI over 467 plate appearances.

Pirates' Bubba Chandler: Blanks Mets on Saturday
Chandler (5-8) earned the win against the Mets on Saturday, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out five across six scoreless innings.
Chandler got plenty of run support from his teammates, who supplied eight runs through the first four innings. The 23-year-old right-hander held his end of the bargain, facing the minimum number of batters in three of six frames while ending his night with back-to-back strikeouts in the sixth inning en route to his fourth quality start of the season (and second since the All-Star break). Chandler will take a 4.26 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over 116.1 innings into his next start, which is lined up for next weekend against the Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Pirates' Endy Rodriguez: Scratched Saturday
Rodriguez was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets due to left hip discomfort.

Pirates' Carmen Mlodzinski: Early exit against Mets
Mlodzinski (6-4) took the loss Friday, coughing up five runs on seven hits and a walk over three innings as the Pirates were downed 6-4 by the Mets. He struck out one.
A three-run homer by Marcus Semien in the third inning was the big blow off Mlodzinski, who was making his first start since May 25. The right-hander did get stretched out to 63 pitches (40 strikes), and while he sports a 3.51 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 77:32 K:BB through 97.1 innings over 26 appearances (10 starts) on the year, he'll need better results to stick around in the rotation as the replacement for Mitch Keller (arm). Mlodzinski will get another chance to show he can handle the job on the road next week in Miami.
