Pirates fans rejoice—Endy Rodríguez is back in the lineup for his first game since early July, batting seventh against the Diamondbacks after recovering from a glute strain. The veteran catcher, who’s battled injuries and struggled recently, has been a spark this season, hitting over .260 with a solid on-base percentage and even taking over the starting catching role. His clutch power—like a three-run homer against the Phillies—could be pivotal as Pittsburgh races for a Wild Card spot. Meanwhile, Valdez returns to right field, Ozuna starts at DH against righties, O’Hearn’s back at first, and Gonzalez resumes shortstop duties—batting ninth. With key pieces returning, the Pirates are turning up the heat on their playoff push.
