The Pittsburgh Pirates have added outfielder/first baseman Matt Gorski to their major league roster and recalled righty Mike Burrows, while optioning Jack Suwinski to Triple-A and placing Justin Lawrence on the 15-day injured list due to elbow inflammation. Gorski, a 27-year-old prospect with a .257/.319/.522 batting line last season, started 2024 strong in Triple-A with a .300 average and three homers. The Pirates, struggling offensively, hope Gorski can boost the lineup, especially as left fielder Tommy Pham has underperformed.
