The Pittsburgh Pirates were swept by the Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> on Sunday, with even staff ace Paul Skenes<\/a> failing to secure a win for the Buccos. That was Pittsburgh\u2019s third straight loss, as they sit tied in the basement of the NL Central with the St. Louis Cardinals<\/a>, both with 24-23 records on the year. But they got some evern worse news on Sunday, when they were forced to place outfielder \/ first baseman Ryan O\u2019Hearn on the 10-day DL with a strained right quad. Jake Mangum<\/a> was called up to replace O\u2019Hearn.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Hearn has been one of the Pirates\u2019 key offseason acquisitions, batting .289 for the year with 7 homers and 29 RBIs for the season, becoming a key cog in Pittsburgh\u2019s offensive resurgence this season. However, according to Bucs GM Ben Cherington, the quad strain is moderate and will sideline O\u2019Hearn for about four weeks. So that\u2019s a full month without their one of the top bats for the Buccos. It\u2019s an unfortunate injury for Pittsburgh\u2019s second best batting average.<\/p>\n

His replacement Mangum was also an offseason acquisition for the Bucs, though he came over in trade, while O\u2019Hearn signed as a free agent. Mangum can get it done in the field, but the Bucs will take a hit at the plate when Mangum plays over O\u2019Hearn. Mangum is hitting .253 on the season with no homers and 3 RBIs in 75 at bats. He was 0-for-2 with a walk and a strikeout on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Last season, with Tampa Bay, Mangum played in 118 games in did hit .296, but with 3 homers and 40 RBIs. He can get it done in the average department, but the Bucs are definitely going to take a power hit.<\/p>\n

The Pirates are now off today after being swept, but they\u2019ll return to action on Tuesday, when they will head to St. Louis<\/a> to take on the Cardinals in what will be a battle for one of them to get out of the basement of the NL Central. The first game of the three-game set starts at 7:45pm Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pittsburgh Pirates were swept by the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday, with even staff ace Paul Skenes failing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":677533,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[50482,49,48,4021,83007,462,19967,504,481,4847,509,178647,82,14577,3982],"class_list":["post-677532","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ben-cherington","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-colorado-rockies","tag-jake-mangum","tag-mlb","tag-pa","tag-paul-skenes","tag-philadelphia-phillies","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-pirates","tag-ryan-o39hearn","tag-sports","tag-st-louis","tag-st-louis-cardinals"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/677532","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=677532"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/677532\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/677533"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=677532"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=677532"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=677532"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
