Friday was a busy day for winter ball and the Pittsburgh Pirates. We start the recap with Australia, where six Pirates were in the starting lineup. Before we get into that, our winter coverage took a huge hit on Friday with Miguel Yajure, Lewin Diaz and Ali Sanchez all getting claimed off of waivers, so they won’t be included in our articles anymore. On the flip side, we added a player too (see link below).
In Australia, Sydney had six Pirates play in their 7-5 loss. Jesus Castillo batted second and played shortstop.
