The Pirates are expected to recall Kelly from Triple-A Indianapolis ahead of Friday's game against the Marlins, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

The 22-year-old will be looking to make his big-league debut after posting a 4.50 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 47:24 K:BB across 54 innings with Indianapolis. Kelly appeared in 13 games, making 10 starts, at Triple-A. He's expected to work out of the Pittsburgh bullpen.

Manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Wrobleski (hamstring) is expected to be able to make his next start, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Wrobleski was removed from Thursday's start against the Pirates after taking a comebacker off his leg, and he was later diagnosed with a hamstring contusion. Both Roberts and Wrobleski said they don't anticipate the injury to affect the left-hander's ability to make his next start, which is lined up for next week against the Rays.

Bradish allowed five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five over four innings in a no-decision against the Mariners on Thursday.

The Orioles built up a 6-1 lead in the third inning, but Bradish gave four runs back in the fourth. That would be his last frame of the game after throwing 85 pitches (52 strikes) in the start. He looked to have turned a corner in late May, but he's allowed 10 runs over eight innings across his two starts in June. Overall, Bradish is at a 4.30 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 73:39 K:BB through 73.1 innings over 14 starts this season. His next start is projected to be a rematch against the Mariners in Seattle.

Wrobleski suffered a right hamstring contusion in Thursday's contest against the Pirates, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Wrobleski exited the game with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning after taking a liner off the bat of Bryan Reynolds to his right thigh. It's now understood to be a hamstring contusion, and the 25-year-old's availability for his next turn through the rotation will likely depend on how his body recovers over the next few days. Wrobleski can be considered day-to-day for the time being ahead of his next tentative start against Tampa Bay.

Senga (spine/arm) allowed one earned run on one hit and one walk while striking out five batters over six innings Thursday in a rehab start with Double-A Binghamton.

Senga made the fourth start of his minor-league rehab assignment, toeing the rubber two days later than initially expected after a flare up of ulnar nerve irritation in his right arm earlier in the week. The right-hander quelled concerns about his health by delivering his best performance of the rehab assignment, tossing 51 of his 75 total pitches for strikes. The Mets will likely wait and see how Senga's body responds to Thursday's workload before deciding whether he'll be ready to return from the 15-day injured list or if he'll remain in the minors for another start.

Kay won't pitch Thursday against Atlanta since the game was postponed due to rain.

Kay was set to start Thursday's series finale against Atlanta, but he will now likely take the mound in Friday's series opener against the Dodgers. The left-hander is coming off of a disappointing outing against the Phillies on June 5, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four batters over four innings.

Perez won't start as scheduled Thursday against the White Sox since the game was postponed due to rain.

Perez should instead take the mound this weekend against the Mets. The southpaw has posted a 3.45 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with nine strikeouts over 15.2 frames in his last three outings, and he owns a 4-0 record and 3.09 ERA over 43.2 career innings against the Mets.

Wrobleski exited Thursday's contest against the Pirates in the fifth inning due to an apparent injury, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Wrobleski took a line drive off his thigh with two outs in the bottom of the fifth frame, and although he attempted to cover the bag on what ended up being a single for Bryan Reynolds, manager Dave Roberts ultimately decided to remove the pitcher. The southpaw finished his day having tossed 4.2 innings, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one batter. More information on Wrobleski's status will likely be provided in the near future.

Bieber (elbow) tossed six scoreless innings Thursday, allowing five hits and a walk while striking out five batters in a rehab outing with Triple-A Buffalo, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Bieber was making his second start with Buffalo, and he was far more successful this time around, notching 46 strikes over 62 total pitches after surrendering eight runs over his prior two rehab outings. The right-hander was able to average 91.4 mph on his fastball, peaking at 93 mph on the day. Bieber may need just one more rehab start before making his 2026 debut with the Blue Jays.

Feltner (2-2) took the loss against the Cubs on Thursday, allowing six runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 4.1 innings.

Feltner was perfect through three frames, but the bottom fell out thereafter. Chicago got to him for four runs on four hits and a walk in the fourth inning, with the big hit being a grand slam off the bat of Seiya Suzuki. Feltner returned for the fifth and issued two walks while retiring just one batter, and both runners put on base came around to score after his departure. It was a disappointing outcome after Feltner looked like he might be turning a major corner over his previous two outings, during which he gave up just one run over 12 frames. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for a rematch against the Cubs in Chicago.
