Hey guys, welcome to double shot of pirates here on DK Pittsburgh Sports.

My name is Chris Halleck.

I will be probably gently guiding you through today's show.

Sorry we're getting off to a late start uh

dk is uh in route to las vegas for uh the penguins there they're there gigantic road trip that

they're on right now uh hose might be how was a negro on our our beat reporter from

from florida right now.

Well, no, he's not from Florida.

He's in Florida.

He's hoping to call in from Florida, but he's kind of busy.

He's actually working.

So if not, if he can't join me, you're stuck with me today.

But the one thing we probably need to talk about, no matter what, whether Jose's here or not here, is something he reported today,

which is pretty significant.

Brandon Lau was scratched from today's lineup for this game going on between the Pirates

and Orioles right now.

He was scratched with lower body tightness, and that's an update from the Pirates Medical

team.

According to what Jose put on our app in our Pirates feed, he's expected to go through

a normal practice session with the group, staying back in Bradenton.

Lough was originally slated to play second base and bat second against the Orioles at Ed Smith

Stadium.
