The Pittsburgh Pirates have made a significant roster change by optioning their 2021 No. 1 draft pick, Henry Davis, to Triple-A due to his struggles at the plate. This decision comes as part of the team's efforts to address their offensive issues, which have drawn criticism from fans online. Pirates' hitting coach Andy Haines emphasized the need for a more aggressive approach at the plate. In response, veteran catcher Yasmani Grandal has been activated and will be joining the team, aiming to boost the Pirates' lineup.
