Burrows is a right-hander, 2-4 with a 4.10 ERA in 21 games and 19th start of the season. He’ll face Oakland’s order after logging a solid workload and aims to extend his mix of fastball/command against a patient A’s lineup.

Burrows is slated to start Sunday, offering the Pirates another chance to extend their momentum in the series rubber game.

Rookie pitcher for Pirates; Burrows starts against a reshuffled Nationals lineup, presenting an opportunity to prove himself against Washington’s adjusted attack.

Burrows entered in relief, triggering a crucial fifth-inning double play on Ohtani’s leadoff double and Betts’ walk to prevent further damage. He preserved the lead and helped seal the Pirates’ win, giving Pittsburgh a bullpen-down-the-stretch blueprint with late-innings versatility.

Burrows is a younger depth arm with upside in Pittsburgh’s long‐term plans. He could contribute as a back‐end starter if he earns the call, though consistency and health are essential gates to significant big‐league opportunities.
