Peguero went 1-for-3 with a walk Saturday against the Giants.

Peguero made his big-league debut after being called up to replace Tucupita Marcano (illness) on the roster. He hit eighth and delivered a single the opposite way in the fourth inning to record his first major-league hit. Peguero is likely to return to Double-A Altoona once Marcano is activated, as his promotion was a result of geographical proximity to Pittsburgh.

Gorman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Boston, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Gorman will take a seat for the series finale while Brendan Donovan slides in at second base and while Albert Pujols serves as the Cardinals' designated hitter. Gorman started in each of St. Louis' last nine games, going 7-for-34 (.206 average) with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs during that stretch.

Marte has a Grade 1 left lateral hamstring strain and is considered day-to-day, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

He has been sidelined since Wednesday and was hitting .306/.390/.500 with one home run over his last 10 games. The team will see how Marte progresses over the next day or two before deciding if a roster move needs to be made.

Marte (hamstring) isn't starting Saturday against Minnesota.

Marte is out of the lineup for a second consecutive game after exiting Wednesday's game against the Reds due to hamstring tightness. Whether he's available off the bench remains to be seen, but Buddy Kennedy will start at the keystone and bat sixth.

Peguero is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Saturday's game against the Giants.

Peguero was called up by the Pirates on Friday, and he'll make his major-league debut as Saturday's starting shortstop. Over 54 games at Double-A Altoona to begin the year, the 21-year-old slashed .292/.315/.469 with five home runs, 33 RBI, 28 runs and 14 steals.

Guillorme isn't starting Saturday against the Marlins, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Guillorme started in the last four games and went 4-for-15 with a run and two strikeouts. However, he'll get a day off while Jeff McNeil shifts to second base with J.D. Davis serving as the designated hitter.

Peguero was called up by the Pirates on Friday, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

Peguero will jump straight from Double-A Altoona to replace Tucupita Marcano, who landed on the COVID-19 injured list. The former seemingly got the call ahead of fellow shortstop prospect Oneil Cruz due primarily to his geographical proximity to Pittsburgh rather than his major-league readiness, as the Pirates needed a player on very short notice. Peguero has stolen 14 bases in 54 games for Altoona this season and could make a fantasy impact with his legs if he's given a handful of starts, though whether or not his bat is ready to make the jump is unclear. His .292/.315/.469 slash line is good for a 113 wRC+, but the two-level jump may be a tough ask.

Marte (hamstring) isn't in the lineup Friday against the Twins.

Marte exited Wednesday's game against the Reds due to hamstring tightness and will be out of the lineup following Thursday's off day. Jake Hager is starting at the keystone and batting eighth.

Trejo was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Trejo was sent to the minors in early May but will rejoin the active roster and start at third base during Friday's game against the Padres. He should serve mainly as depth during his time on the major-league roster after he hit .257 with a homer, six runs and six RBI over 10 games with the Rockies earlier in the year.

Urias isn't starting Friday against the Reds.

Urias drew starts in the last nine games and hit .121 with a homer, four RBI, two runs, three walks and 15 strikeouts. Jace Peterson is starting at the hot corner while Keston Hiura takes over at second base Friday.
