The Pittsburgh Pirates made roster adjustments before their matchup with the San Diego Padres on August 26, 2026. They recalled RHP Noah Murdock from Triple-A, who has not allowed a run in his two appearances this season. To create space for Murdock, the Pirates optioned RHP Khristian Curtis to Triple-A after he pitched three scoreless innings against the Dodgers on August 23. The team seeks to address the overworked bullpen due to recent pitching demands. Murdock will provide a fresh arm, but may not be used in high-leverage situations.
