CINCINNATI – Evan Sisk was pitching as well as he ever had for the first three months of 2026. Then came the unexpected. Near the end of June, Sisk began to feel some discomfort in the back of his elbow area. The soreness was gradual over time. Eventually, he needed

CINCINNATI — Jake Mangum knows a sideways look or awkward conversation could be coming. When the Pirates return to Great American Ball Park on Thursday, it’s technically the scene of the crime — theft. Or Mangum asking a visiting clubhouse attendant for a traffic cone ... and then the team
