The Pittsburgh Pirates are set to square off against the Cleveland Guardians to start the second half of their regular season. However, due to air quality in Cleveland, Ohio, being a bit too hazardous, the Guardians-Pirates game on Friday was postponed to Saturday, and both teams will now play two games on Saturday afternoon.
The weather delay/All-Star break, however, has not stopped roster transactions from taking place, and before the Guardians series began, the Pirates made a notable signing of a three-year MLB veteran.

Per his MLB.com transactions log, Dominic Fletcher is back with the Pittsburgh Pirates after being released earlier in July:
On 7/17, MLB.com wrote: “Pittsburgh Pirates signed free agent RF Dominic Fletcher to a minor league contract.”
Fletcher, 28, has not made an MLB appearance this season and has since been reassigned to Triple-A. Across 42 games in AAA this season, Fletcher is batting .288 with eight home runs, five doubles, and an OPS of .890.
Given the Pirates have one of the best offenses in MLB, Fletcher has not received a Majors opportunity, but perhaps this signing is a signal that one is to come soon.
