The Phillies have officially lost their first series out of the All-Star break, as they were dominated by Luis L. Ortiz and the Pirates pitching staff in a 4-1 loss.

Fox Sports Lists Steelers Offensive Line As Biggest Question Mark
The Pittsburgh Steelers of 2024 are going to look very different than the Steelers of 2023. A big reason for that is a change at quarterback after QB Kenny Pickett was traded and quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields were acquired. However, despite the overhaul at quarterback, Fox Sports’ David Helman doesn’t think quarterback is Pittsburgh’s biggest question mark. Instead, Helman lists the offensive line as their biggest question mark entering training camp.
Steelers' Justin Fields’ Biggest Struggle Has Negatively Impacted Him In Pittsburgh: 'He's Still Working On Processing The Game'
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a new look at quarterback going into the 2024 season. Russell Wilson was signed in free agency and he is the presumed starter, but Pittsburgh also acquired Justin Fields via trade. Fields has some developing to do, and learning behind Wilson could be what is best for his career at the moment. Fields will get the opportunity to compete for the starting job in training camp, but it is extremely unlikely that the 13-year veteran doesn't start for Pittsburgh. Fields’ career began with the Chicago Bears, where he was the primary starter over the last three seasons. His time there...
Russell Wilson named quarterback most under pressure in AFC
There’s truly nothing on the line for Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson only than his professional legacy and the hopes of a football-proud city. Yes, that is a ton of pressure. Will Wilson, in his first season in Pittsburgh, be more like his Pro Bowl self like he was with the Seahawks. Or will his play more closely resemble what he showed with the Broncos the past two seasons?
Bell: Pre-Training Camp Steelers 53-Man Roster Projection
With the Pittsburgh Steelers heading to St. Vincent college this week for the team’s training camp, it feels like the appropriate time to drop my 53-man roster projection. As always, things near the bottom of the roster will remain fluid as there are plenty of intriguing training camp battles that will heat up in Latrobe. There’s even a good chance that one, or potentially multiple players could be added from other rosters via cuts or even trades over the next six weeks. This is always an exciting article to write because it means that the season is just right around the corner. Thankfully, we’ll have some real football competition to hold us over until the regular season gets here.

Steelers' Calvin Austin III Reminded Russell Wilson Of Former Great Teammate: 'I Didn't Realize You Were This Fast'
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a lot of questions surrounding their receiver core. Without a true starting-caliber receiver outside of George Pickens, guys like Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin III will be expected to grow into that role and become a reliable option, especially Austin, since he is now seen as the leader of the receiver core. To help with that, Austin was among with group of receivers that have joined Russell Wilson and Justin Fields in offseason practices away from the team to try and develop chemistry. Austin made an appearance on ESPN 92.9 in Memphis, Tennessee to talk about the state of the Steelers before training camp began....

The Phillies, who had lost three straight and four of their last five games, ended the Pirates' winning streak at six. Pittsburgh was shut out for the seventh time this season.
Steelers Have Leverage To Steal Raiders WR Davante Adams
The Pittsburgh Steelers‘ roster has been set up nicely thanks to an exciting offseason from General Manager Omar Khan and assistant general manager Andy Weidl. However, one major concern has been the wide receiver room, especially after the team's decision to trade away Diontae Johnson. This has left pundits and Steelers fans wondering who will step up to fill the void left by Johnson. Although the Steelers have brought in several speedy wide receivers, none have instilled much confidence in fans and analysts. As a result, the Steelers have been linked to nearly every available wide receiver this offseason. The most prominent...

Versatile Luis Ortiz Unsung Hero of Pirates Pitching Staff
Paul Skenes has generated most of the attention amongst Pittsburgh Pirates pitchers this season, and rightfully so. The rookie phenom has already established himself as one of the premier starting pitchers in the league. It’s why he started for the National League in the All-Star Game on Tuesday. Similarly, fellow rookie Jared Jones garnered plenty of attention prior to landing on the 15-day injured list and Mitch Keller continues to serve as the anchor of the starting staff. Perhaps it’s time Luis Ortiz, who didn’t even start the season in the Pirates’ rotation, got some more attention for everything he’s done this...
