Cam Devanney’s MLB debut for the Pirates came as a late-summer call-up after a July trade that sent Adam Frazier to Kansas City. He went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk, but the performance was less about the box score and more about the opportunity ahead in an infield that’s wide open for 2026.

Devanney, 28 and a New Hampshire native, has posted power throughout his minors and now faces a runway to prove he can contribute at third base or shortstop at the big league level, where the Pirates will be watching his development as they map out next season’s lineup.
