Pirates' Mike Burrows: Starting again Sunday
Share Video
Burrows is slated to start Sunday's game against the Nationals in Washington.
After making a pair of relief appearances Aug. 30 and Sept. 3, Burrows slotted back into a starting role Tuesday against the Orioles, though the Pirates continued to manage his workload in his first full season back from April 2023 Tommy John surgery. In his start versus Baltimore, Burrows struck out six and generated 14 whiffs while permitting one run on two runs and one walk, but he was lifted after just four innings and 56 pitches. Braxton Ashcraft ended up piggybacking Burrows and covered three innings out of the bullpen, but with Ashcraft slated to start Monday's series opener versus the Cubs, Burrows could have a slightly longer leash Sunday while he makes his second straight start.
