  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Resting against lefty

    Horwitz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

    After starting in each of the last eight games, the left-handed-hitting Horwitz will be given the night off while the Royals send southpaw Noah Cameron to the hill for the series opener. Jared Triolo will replace Horwitz at first base and will bat eighth.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Slugs first leadoff homer

    Horwitz went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a two-RBI double in Monday's 7-0 victory over the Cardinals.

    The Pittsburgh first baseman launched his first career leadoff homer when he took St. Louis starter Erick Fedde deep on the second pitch. Horwitz then returned in the third to lace a two-RBI double off Fedde to notch his second two-bagger of the season. The former Blue Jay has settled into a strong-side platoon role and is now slashing .258/.324/.383 with two homers, 17 runs scored and 14 RBI across 142 plate appearances in 36 games.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Getting breather

    Horwitz is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

    Horwitz's streak of seven consecutive starts comes to an end Friday as he yields to Jared Triolo at first base. In his last 12 games, Horwitz is 15-for-44 (.341) with five doubles.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Sparks offense in win

    Horwitz went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Rangers.

    Horwitz was a thorn in the Rangers' side all game, highlighted by a two-run double during the Pirates' five-run fifth inning. Over his past 10 games, the 27-year-old has hit safely eight times, collecting four doubles, three RBI and seven runs scored. He's slashing .245/.316/.349 with one home run, nine RBI and 14 runs scored across 117 plate appearances while primarily starting against right-handed pitching.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Getting night off against lefty

    Horwitz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    The left-handed-hitting Horwitz will exit the lineup for just the second time in nine games while the Pirates face off against reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal. Platoon mate Jared Triolo will step in at first base in place of Horwitz, who is batting .228 with one home run, seven RBI and nine runs through his first 26 games with the Pirates.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Idle against lefty

    Horwitz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    Horwitz will take a seat for the third time in four games while the Pirates go up against another southpaw in Cristopher Sanchez. Jared Triolo will get the nod at first base and should continue to fill the short side of a platoon with Horwitz.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: First homer as Pirate

    Horwitz went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI on Thursday against the Brewers.

    He led off the fourth inning with a solo shot off Aaron Civale, Horwitz's first extra-base hit as a Pirate. He has gone 5-for-18 with only three strikeouts through six games since returning from a wrist injury and seems set in a strong-side platoon role at first base.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Exiting starting nine Monday

    Horwitz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

    The left-handed-hitting Horwitz could end up settling into a full-time role with the Pirates eventually, but he'll take a seat for the series opener versus the Reds while lefty Nick Lodolo takes the hill for Cincinnati. After being reinstated from the injured list Saturday after he had been on the shelf all season while recovering from a procedure to alleviate pain in his right wrist, Horwitz started at first base in the final two games of the Pirates' weekend series with the Phillies, going 1-for-6.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Hits fifth in Pittsburgh debut

    Horwitz went 0-for-2 on Saturday against the Phillies.

    Horwitz was sidelined for the first seven weeks of the regular season and made his Pirates debut Saturday night. While he occupied the fifth spot in the order, the lefty-hitting Horwitz was pulled for a pinch hitter when lefty Matt Strahm took the mound. While Horwitz could have been pulled as he continues to build up stamina, it's possible this is an early sign that he'll be operating in a platoon at first base.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Back from injured list

    The Pirates reinstated Horwitz (wrist) from the injured list Saturday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Horwitz has been on the injured list all season while working his way back from a thumb procedure he underwent in February to relieve some pain in his right wrist. He's been playing in rehab games since late April and has slashed .255/.294/.383 with two RBI and seven runs scored across 51 plate appearances. Now fully healthy, he's expected to take over as Pittsburgh's primary first baseman. Matt Gorski was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Set to return from IL this weekend

    The Pirates will activate Horwitz (wrist) from the 10-day injured list during their weekend series in Philadelphia, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    He will not be activated Friday, perhaps because the Phillies are starting left-hander Ranger Suarez. Instead, Horwitz will return from the IL later this weekend. Horwitz has been working his way back from February surgery to repair an extensor tendon in his right thumb that was causing pain in his wrist. The 27-year-old posted just a .677 OPS in 13 rehab games, but he was heating up at Triple-A Indianapolis, going 6-for-13 with one home run over his last three contests. Horwitz is set to serve as the Pirates' primary first baseman.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Still finding groove

    Horwitz (wrist) has gone 4-for-28 with five strikeouts on his rehab assignment split between Double-A Altoona and Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Horwitz has been on assignment since April 27 and has needed extensive ramp-up time after missing all of spring training. He still hasn't found a rhythm at the plate, though he has struck out at a reasonable 16.7 percent clip. The Pirates need offensive help, but they may opt to let Horwitz start to hit better before activating him.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Starting rehab assignment Sunday

    Horwitz (wrist) will embark on a rehab assignment with Double-A Altoona on Sunday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Horwitz underwent surgery in February to repair an extensor tendon in his right thumb that was causing pain in his wrist, but he's finally ready for game action. Horwitz appeared in 97 games for the Blue Jays in 2024, slashing .265/.357/.433 with 12 home runs and 40 RBI in 381 plate appearances.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Ready for extended spring training

    Horwitz (wrist) has been cleared for baseball activity and will participate in extended spring training, MLB.com reports.

    This marks a significant step in Horwitz's recovery, though he'll still likely need plenty of ramp-up time after missing all of spring training. He should take over as Pittsburgh's primary first baseman once activated from the injured list.

  • Pirates' Spencer Horwitz: Nearing rehab assignment

    Horwitz (wrist) is likely to head to the Pirates' complex in Florida to begin a rehab assignment in the near future, MLB.com reports.

    Horwitz has been cleared for all baseball activity and has been taking batting practice for the last several days. He'll likely still require some time to get in a rhythm after missing all of spring training, meaning a return in early May could be realistic.
