The Pittsburgh Pirates will almost certainly be aggressive sellers at the trade deadline, but that doesn't mean they will completely clean house.

Pittsburgh Pirates slugger Oneil Cruz may not have won this year’s Home Run Derby, but he may have emerged as the biggest star of the night. Seattle’s Cal Raleigh added another chapter to his magical season by winning the event.

The Pittsburgh Pirates made a decision on Oneil Cruz after he left Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

Cruz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins after exiting Saturday's 12-4 loss in the top of the eighth inning due to a hip flexor injury, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Cruz set the record for the hardest hit home run of the Statcast era (since 2015) on May 25 against the Milwaukee Brewers right-handed starting pitcher Logan Henderson at PNC Park, hitting it with an exit velocity of 122.9 mph.

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz blasted a 513-foot homer out of Atlanta's Truist Park on Monday night during the 2025 MLB Home Run Derby. It's one of the most impressive homers you're likely to see this season, even if it was technically done in a non-game event specifically engineered to produce homers.
