NASHVILLE, Tenn. — During a break in 11-on-11 drills at Friday’s joint practice between the Titans and Seahawks, the quarterbacks from both teams gathered in the middle field at the Vanderbilt Health Football Center. 

Before Sam Darnold could even complain about the heat — mid 80s, plus humidity — Tennessee’s QBs essentially thanked the Seahawks for the reprieve.

“They’re like, ‘Oh, it’s a beautiful day! You brought the cool weather with you,’” Darnold said post-practice, laughing and shaking his head in disbelief. 

That pretty much summed up how the defending Super Bowl champions felt in the muggy heat, much different from the cool weather they’re used to in Seattle. Several Seahawks battled heat-related issues. 

On the practice field, the champs traded blows with a Titans team hoping for better days under new coach Robert Saleh. Despite their pedigree, the Seahawks have questions of their own. Perhaps the biggest one facing Seattle entering 2026: What will its offense look like? 

Darnold is a proven Pro Bowl quarterback. Superstar wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the reigning Offensive Player of the Year, is one of the NFL’s best players. The Seahawks had the league’s No. 3 scoring offense last season. But they have a first-time playcaller in Brian Fleury, who replaces Klint Kubiak, who was named the Las Vegas Raiders’ head coach in February. Fleury spent the past seven seasons as an assistant with the San Francisco 49ers. 

“I think for him, it’s just like learning the flow of [playcalling],” Darnold told me. “When to call a certain play. When to get the play in. How much time we’re going to have on the play clock. When we want to get into tempo. … It’s tough sometimes to be the offensive coordinator, but he’s really, really smart and we know he can handle it.” 

My takeaways from Friday’s joint practice: 

Cam Ward, Titans’ Offense Hold Their Own

Titans quarterback Cam Ward gave the Seahawks’ elite defense fits in a Week 12 matchup last season, and he had more success against Seattle on Friday. 

In a red-zone period at the start of practice, last year’s No. 1 overall pick threw a short touchdown pass across his body to second-year receiver Elic Ayomanor. Ward also capped off a two-minute drive late with a touchdown pass to tight end Daniel Bellinger. Ward didn’t force shots deep, taking what Mike Macdonald’s defense gave him underneath for several short completions. 

It wasn’t all perfect — Ward threw a pick-six to Seahawks safety Ty Okada — but it was an encouraging day overall for the young quarterback, who hopes to make big strides in his second season with new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. Playing well against a Super Bowl defense is a great sign. After an uninspiring preseason opener last week, Ward has strung together a handful of strong practices. 

“He can extend plays, I think that’s a big part of his game,” Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV said post-practice. “I think he was on time with his throws today, getting to his check downs. I think he’s growing and getting better.” 

And it wasn’t just Ward playing well for the offense. Ayomanor drew an interference penalty to set up Bellinger’s score in the two-minute drill. Running back Tony Pollard ripped off several great runs thanks to a great showing from Tennessee’s offensive line. 

Ward agreed with the sentiment that there were “A-plus” plays on the ground. 

“They made some holes for us, for sure. They were the first ones to the ball,” Ward said. “I’m happy to have those guys in front of me.” 

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Makes The Game Look Easy

Not surprisingly, the All-Pro receiver was a standout on the day. With the Seahawks deep in negative territory during team drills, Smith-Njigba beat Titans cornerback Alontae Taylor with ease down the left sideline to catch a Darnold pass. Later in the same period, he wiggled his way through the middle of Tennessee’s defense to find open grass, making a grab around the one-yard line. 

A two-time Pro Bowler, Smith-Njigba is coming off a season in which he led the league in receiving yards (1,793). He’s just 24 years old and his numbers have improved across the board in each of his three seasons, so he should continue to ascend — a scary proposition for opposing defenses. 

Tennessee’s Defense Also Holds Its Own

Early in team drills, Jeffery Simmons stuffed first-round running back Jadarian Price up the middle. The All-Pro defensive tackle proceeded to chirp at the Seahawks’ offense. 

It set the tone for what turned out to be a strong showing for Tennessee’s defense against a talented Seattle offense. 

“You see the aggression, you see kind of the pressure they put on the quarterback,” Darnold said. “Their four-man rushes are really, really good, and then they bring five or six-man rushes. And even when they bring fire zones [blitzes], they’re really, really good. Their back end is really good at disguising right now. They’re showing a lot of different things defensively. … That defense is going to be really good this year.”

Taylor had a pick-six off Darnold in the first play of a two-minute period. Linebacker Cody Barton broke up a pass in the red zone. The Titans’ defensive front held up well in the run game. 

Tennessee’s secondary came under fire for a poor showing in last week’s preseason opener against San Francisco’s backups, but the defensive backs — and the defense as a whole — bounced back against Seattle. 

Seahawks RB George Holani Steps Up In The Backfield

Seattle’s backfield faces a bit of uncertainty entering 2026, with reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III departing in free agency for the Kansas City Chiefs and Zach Charbonnet recovering from a torn ACL suffered in January. The Seahawks will need unproven players to step up at running back this season. 

At Friday’s practice, backup George Holani answered the bell. The third-year pro had a pair of touchdowns as a pass-catcher — one off a deep pass on third down, and another on a short catch and run. 

Price, who has missed time in training camp due to lower-body soreness, continued his ramp-up by participating in full contact work at joint practice. 

 

“They may be hungry, but we’re starving. Let’s continue to starve to get to where we want to get to.” — Titans DT Jeffery Simmons after practice with the Super Bowl champs

The Arizona Diamondbacks are in the middle of a sizzling playoff race with 34 games remaining as of Friday, trying to eliminate distractions and play their best baseball as they work to return to the postseason for the first time since 2023.

Ketel Marte has made that basically impossible.

Four days after the three-time All-Star’s mysterious disappearance during a road trip in Boston, the D-backs were still trying to figure out how to move forward after one of their best players essentially ghosted teammates and management during a crucial moment in the season.

“Once I saw what was unfolding, I became extremely frustrated,” manager Torey Lovullo said. “I felt betrayed. And that’s a whole different type of pain and frustration. But I’m through that.”

Marte, D-backs Brass Meet On Thursday

Lovullo said he met with Marte on Thursday, along with general manager Mike Hazen and Marte’s agent. The 32-year-old second baseman was put on the 10-day injured list with left knee inflammation shortly after the meeting.

Lovullo didn’t get into many of the details of the discussion, but did say Marte had some frustration about his ailing knee. The switch-hitter was scheduled to be the team’s designated hitter on Monday night before his no-show.

Marte — who is hitting .249 with 21 homers and 67 RBIs this season — was not in the clubhouse during media availability on Friday.

“There’s right ways to handle things and wrong ways to handle things,” Lovullo said. “I think the conclusion that was drawn up yesterday was that we could have been better. Ketel could have been better, specifically. Admittedly so.

“I want to manage baseball games. I want to do what I love doing between the white lines and not have to answer these types of questions. … I don’t love the drama that follows this ballclub. I want to be a good baseball team and we’ve got to figure this out.”

The D-backs might be more willing to deal with Marte’s baffling behavior because he’s currently the longest-tenured player on the team and one of the most productive hitters in franchise history. The Dominican has 1,215 hits and 189 homers since joining the club in 2017 and is generally well-liked in the clubhouse. He also is under contract through 2030 with a player option for 2031.

“I love Ketel Marte — my relationship with him is not going to change,” Lovullo said.

But there’s little doubt the mercurial Marte has put the franchise in a tough situation.

And it isn’t the first time he’s had a strange disappearance.

Last season, he went on the restricted list when his home in Arizona was broken into during the All-Star break. He missed three games after flying back to his native Dominican Republic and later apologized for his absence.

Regarding Marte’s latest absence, many of his teammates said that didn’t know much about the situation and were essentially reading media reports to figure out details.

Reliever Kevin Ginkel said the situation was disappointing, but he also cared about Marte and wanted him to be healthy, both mentally and physically.

“There’s really no explanation for it,” Ginkel said. “But we’ve got 30-something games left and hopefully we can get him back and it’ll give us a nice little push into the playoffs.”

Ginkel said teammates were eager for Marte’s side of the story. It’s unclear when, or if, that might come.

“I think it’d be nice to hear it — for sure,” Ginkel said. “I think a lot of players are kind of frustrated about how it happened. But first and foremost, it’s him getting his knee right and mentally being in a good place to where he can come back and help contribute.”

Running back Nick Chubb has announced his retirement from the NFL on Friday, he announced via Instagram.

Chubb played eight seasons in the league, competing for both the Cleveland Browns and the Houston Texans.

“Twelve year old me could never imagine this day, and 30 year old me is wondering where all the time has gone. I’ve known for some time now, but I’m finally ready to share that I’m done playing football,” Chubb wrote on Instagram. “I wanted to end my career on a healthy note, and I was able to do that.”

The 2018 second-rounder instantly made his mark in his rookie year with Cleveland. Chubb rushed for 996 rushing yards, eight touchdowns and added 149 receiving yards and two touchdowns through the air. On top of his impressive rookie campaign, Chubb went on to amass four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons with the Browns, which led to four Pro Bowl nods. 

However, Chubb suffered an injury in 2023 — on the same knee he injured in 2015 at Georgia — sidelining him for over 20 games between 2023 and 2024. 

While Chubb signed with the Texans in 2025, his production did not match his early-career performances pre-injury. Chubb finished the year with 568 rushing yards and three touchdowns.

Not only did Chubb succeed in the NFL, but he was a legend at Georgia. As a bulldog, Chubb recorded 4,769 total rushing yards, 44 total touchdowns, an SEC Championship title and a College Football Playoff appearance in 2017. 

Chubb also added a note to his teammates, alluding to the setback he faced when dealing with injury:

“I say this to all my brothers still on the field, still in the heat of it: there’s a life waiting for you after football. And health is the real wealth. I end my career in a great place.”

Preseason stars continue to emerge, free agents continue to ink new deals and injuries still headline the news. But one free agent has a bigger question mark than others: Tyreek Hill. 

After Hill’s season-ending injury early last season – and being released by Miami in February – his priority still remains his health and recovery, rather than joining a new team. On the other hand, the Houston Texans acted fast after wide receiver Jayden Higgins suffered a season-ending injury, and signed two new wide receivers on Friday. 

In terms of preseason starts, Jets quarterback Geno Smith needed one drive to put points on the board for New York, and Carolina Panthers’ running back Jonathan Brooks found the end zone early. 

However, the defending-champion Seattle Seahawks await serious injury news regarding the status of wide receiver Jake Bobo.

Catch up with all the updates across the NFL:

Former Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill has been a big question mark this offseason; where will the free agent land next? 

Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, joined the Pat McAfee show on Friday to discuss Hill’s timeline in terms of signing with a new team.

“I don’t expect Tyreek to sign before the season starts,” Rosenhaus said on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Friday. “He sent me videos of him running hills yesterday, and he looked great. 

“I do think when he does sign, he will be the kind of guy that will impact the playoff race and will certainly be successful.”

Hill spent the last four seasons with the Dolphins, and six seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs prior to signing with Miami. 

However, after Hill’s Week 4 season-ending knee injury last season, Rosenhaus emphasized that Hill’s priority is getting back to full health before he inks a new deal.  

“Tyreek Hill is gonna take his time and pick the right team,” Rosenhaus added. “He’s gonna come back fully healthy and he wants to help a team win a Super Bowl.”

So Hill still expects to return at some point, but he’ll be calculated in determining his team and timeline.

Geno Smith played one drive on Friday night, and he made it count.

Starting the Jets’ preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Smith went 7-for-7 for 65 yards and a touchdown pass to tight end Jelani Woods. The drive featured a 21-yard completion to wide receiver Adonai Mitchell and 10-yard completions to tight end Mason Taylor and wide receiver Garrett Wilson.

This was Smith’s first preseason action this year. Rookie Cade Klubnik relieved Smith after an impressive preseason debut last week against the Buccaneers that saw him go 5-of-7 for 56 yards. The Clemson product may see time later in the regular season, but Smith will likely be the guy in Week 1.

Similar to Smith, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love just needed one drive to put points on the board for Green Bay against Denver. 

Love finished the 12-play drive going 5-for-7, 56 yards and an 11-yard touchdown pass to running back MarShawn Lloyd. The drive saw a pass caught first by Christian Watson, but Denver’s Patrick Surtain II forced a fumble recovered by the Broncos, but was called back. Love then found Matthew Golden, who converted a crucial fourth-down to keep the drive alive.

It’s unlikely that Love will play in the Packers’ preseason finale next week against the Arizona Cardinals, but Love will lead Green Bay starting Week 1 on the road at the Minnesota Vikings. 

In the second game of the night, running back Jonathon Brooks showed that he might finally be ready to make a difference for the Carolina Panthers.

Bryce Young marched the Panthers’ offense down the field, going 5-of-6 for 49 yards in his two drives, including two completions for a total of 25 yards to wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan. Brooks completed the Panthers’ second drive with a one-yard touchdown run. He totaled five carries for 18 yards on Friday.

Brooks was a second-round pick in 2024 out of Texas and was drafted after having sustained a torn ACL during his last season in college. He suffered the same injury in Week 14 of his rookie year, again in his right knee, just the third game of his rookie season after returning from the initial injury. Brooks then sat out all of 2025.

Since the end of last season, running back Rico Dowdle signed with the Steelers, leaving Chuba Hubbard as the lead back for Carolina. That also gives Brooks a chance to compete for carries — if he can stay healthy.

Texans Sign Two WRs After Higgins Injury

The Houston Texans wasted no time once wide receiver Jayden Higgins was placed on the season-ending injured reserve. Houston signed veteran receivers Sterling Shepard and Zay Jones on Friday, according to NFL Network.

Shepard spent the last two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Jones was with the Arizona Cardinals for two seasons.

With Higgins out, the additions of experienced receivers like Jones and Shepard can benefit quarterback C.J. Stroud and the offense. Jones and Shepard join a Houston receiving room that includes Nico Collins, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel, and Tank Dell.

After Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo was carted off during Friday’s joint practice with the Tennessee Titans, he will undergo tests to determine the severity of his knee injury. 

Bobo’s shining moment from last season came in Seattle’s NFC Championship win over the Rams, when he hauled in a 17-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Sam Darnold in the third quarter. 

Seahawks head coach Mike Maconald called Bobo’s injury “serious” and that it could leave Bobo sidelined for most of the regular season.

“Our heart goes out to Jake Bobo,” Macdonald said after practice. “It seems like it’s going to be a serious knee. We’re going to get an image, but early returns, you know, just looks like it is a long-term injury. So, that’s unfortunate.”

The Chicago Cubs visit the Seattle Mariners on Saturday, August 22, 2026 at 4:15 p.m. PT from T-Mobile Park, Seattle, WA.

The Seattle Mariners enter at 61-68 (.473), while the Chicago Cubs sit at 74-55 (.574). Top prospect Kade Anderson is scheduled to make his major league debut for Seattle after going 10-1 with a 1.06 ERA, a 0.64 WHIP and 135 strikeouts over 93 1/3 innings at Double-A Arkansas. David Peterson (7-7, 5.29 ERA over 112 1/3 innings) is the probable starter for Chicago. The Cubs’ 622 RBI rank second in MLB this season, while the Mariners’ 3.34 strikeout-to-walk ratio leads the majors.

Below, we’ll give you all the details you need to know about how to watch this game.

How to Watch Cubs vs. Mariners

• When: Saturday, August 22, 2026 at 4:15 p.m. PT
• Where: T-Mobile Park, Seattle, WA

Players To Watch

Pete Crow-Armstrong can impact the game with both his power and speed. The Cubs center fielder enters the matchup with 32 home runs, 80 RBI, a .279 batting average, a .378 on-base percentage, a .550 slugging percentage and 31 stolen bases.

Crow-Armstrong could present an immediate challenge for Kade Anderson in his scheduled major league debut. If he reaches base early or capitalizes on a mistake over the plate, he can quickly put Chicago in control.

Seiya Suzuki gives Chicago another dangerous run producer in the middle of the lineup. He has recorded 22 home runs and 74 RBI while batting .267 with a .359 on-base percentage and a .480 slugging percentage.

Suzuki is a key part of a Cubs offense that leads MLB in on-base percentage, ranks third in slugging percentage and OPS and sits second in RBI. His ability to work deep counts and punish mistakes could make Anderson’s first major league start a difficult one from the opening inning.

All eyes will be on Kade Anderson as the highly regarded left-hander prepares for his scheduled major league debut. Anderson dominated Double-A hitters with a 1.06 ERA, a 0.64 WHIP and 135 strikeouts against only 13 walks over 93 1/3 innings.

His first test will come against one of baseball’s most productive offenses. Chicago is 5-5 over its past 10 games and ranks among MLB’s best teams in on-base percentage, OPS and RBI. If Anderson can miss bats and limit hard contact from Crow-Armstrong, Suzuki and the rest of the Cubs lineup, Seattle’s pitching could set the tone.

Randy Arozarena remains one of Seattle’s most dependable offensive threats. He enters the matchup batting .271 with a .365 on-base percentage, a .447 slugging percentage, 17 home runs, 54 RBI and 20 stolen bases.

His ability to reach base and create pressure will be especially important against David Peterson, who has a 5.29 ERA, a 1.53 WHIP and a .277 opponent batting average over 112 1/3 innings. If Arozarena can spark the offense early, he can give the Mariners a chance to manufacture runs and take some pressure off Anderson.

The Washington Nationals visit the Miami Marlins on Saturday, August 22, 2026 at 4:10 p.m. ET from loanDepot park, Miami, FL.

Players to Watch

Eury Pérez gives Miami a clear edge on the mound. The probable Marlins starter is 6-9 with a 3.23 ERA, 133 strikeouts and a 1.11 WHIP across 122.2 innings. Opponents are hitting just .200 against him.

Those numbers could spell trouble for a Washington team that has lost eight of its last 10 games. Miami owns a top-10 team ERA and a 39-25 home record. If Pérez attacks the top of the order and limits hard contact, the Marlins can take control early.

Otto Lopez is the engine of Miami’s pressure-heavy offense. He leads the Marlins with a .307 batting average and has 55 RBI and 25 stolen bases.

That combination of contact and speed should test a Nationals pitching staff with a 4.67 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and .257 opponent batting average. Miami ranks second in stolen bases and inside the top 10 in batting average, on-base percentage and OPS. When Lopez reaches base, the Marlins can make Jake Irvin work in a hurry.

Washington needs Jake Irvin to steady the game on the mound. The probable Nationals starter is 2-7 with a 5.80 ERA, 72 strikeouts and a 1.36 WHIP over 71.1 innings. He has yet to record a quality start.

Miami’s lineup is built to punish free baserunners. The Marlins rank seventh in batting average, sixth in on-base percentage and second in stolen bases. Irvin’s path is simple: throw strikes, control the running game and keep Miami from turning one baserunner into a big inning.

CJ Abrams can change this matchup with one swing or one trip around the bases. The Nationals shortstop is batting .279 with 29 home runs, 91 RBI and 24 stolen bases, making him Washington’s most complete offensive threat.

The key question is his health. Abrams is day to day with an ankle injury. If he returns and looks like himself, his mix of power and speed gives Washington its best chance to challenge a Miami staff ranked ninth in ERA and WHIP.

The San Francisco Giants visit the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, August 22, 2026 at 7:15 p.m. ET from Fenway Park, Boston, MA.

The Red Sox enter at 69-59 (.539), while the Giants sit at 52-76 (.406). Patrick Sandoval (1-2, 4.76 ERA over 34 innings) is scheduled to start for Boston against Blade Tidwell (0-0, 4.33 ERA over 27 innings) for San Francisco. Boston’s .839 OPS in August through Aug. 21 leads MLB, while San Francisco’s 118 home runs allowed are the fewest in the majors this season.

Players to Watch

Boston’s pitching staff enters with a 3.53 ERA, third-best in MLB, and a 1.22 WHIP that ranks sixth. Patrick Sandoval will be responsible for carrying that strength into the early innings and putting the Red Sox bullpen in position to finish the game.

Sandoval has a 4.76 ERA, a 1.85 WHIP and 35 strikeouts over 34 innings, with one quality start. San Francisco ranks 10th with a .247 team batting average but sits 29th with a .305 on-base percentage. If Sandoval limits walks and keeps the bases clear, Boston can control the matchup from the mound.

Willson Contreras has been Boston’s most productive middle-of-the-order hitter. He leads the Red Sox with 26 home runs and 78 RBI while batting .285, making him the lineup’s biggest threat against projected Giants starter Blade Tidwell.

Boston enters batting .251 with a .324 on-base percentage and a .730 OPS. San Francisco’s pitching staff has recorded a 4.36 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. If Contreras drives the ball early, he can help the Red Sox turn consistent traffic into an early lead.

Blade Tidwell could determine whether San Francisco can keep the game close. The Giants are 23-43 on the road and enter with a 4.36 team ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. Against a Boston offense that ranks sixth in batting average and eighth in OPS, Tidwell will need to prevent extended innings.

The projected right-hander has a 4.33 ERA, a 1.22 WHIP and 20 strikeouts over 27 innings while holding opponents to a .235 batting average. If Tidwell can avoid hard contact and keep Boston from stringing hits together, he can give the Giants an opportunity to stay within reach into the later innings.

Rafael Devers gives San Francisco its most dangerous power threat. He leads the Giants with 26 home runs and 70 RBI, production that carries added importance for an offense tied for 26th in RBI, 27th in stolen bases and 29th in on-base percentage.

This is Devers’ first series at Fenway Park since Boston traded him to San Francisco in June 2025, and he opened the weekend with a solo homer in Friday’s 6-4 loss. He will face a pitching staff that has held opponents to a .239 batting average and a .680 OPS. If Devers delivers with runners on base, he can give the Giants the impact swing they need against his former club.

The Pittsburgh Pirates visit the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday, August 22, 2026 at 4:15 p.m. PT from UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, CA.

The Los Angeles Dodgers enter at 78-51 (.605), while the Pittsburgh Pirates sit at 63-67 (.485). Tarik Skubal (7-7, 2.85 ERA in 113.2 innings) is the probable starter for the Dodgers, opposed by Jared Jones (2-5, 4.78 ERA in 64 innings) for the Pirates.

Below, we’ll give you all the details you need to know about how to watch this game.

How to Watch Pirates vs. Dodgers

• When: Saturday, August 22, 2026 at 4:15 p.m. PT
• Where: UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, CA
• TV: FOX
• Stream: Watch 3 days free on FOX One, FOX Sports

Players to Watch

Tarik Skubal gives the Dodgers a significant advantage on the mound against a Pittsburgh lineup capable of creating pressure. The Pirates have scored 650 runs while batting .255 with a .332 on-base percentage and 108 stolen bases, making it important for Skubal to limit traffic from the start.

The projected Dodgers starter is 7-7 with a 2.85 ERA, a 0.96 WHIP and 135 strikeouts over 113 2/3 innings. Opponents are batting just .213 against him. If Skubal works ahead and keeps Pittsburgh off the bases, he can allow a Dodgers staff that ranks second in WHIP and first in quality starts to control the game.

Shohei Ohtani remains the centerpiece of a Dodgers lineup that leads MLB with a .764 OPS and ranks second with a .259 batting average. He leads Los Angeles with 30 home runs and is tied for the team lead with 80 RBI while batting .291 with a .390 on-base percentage and a .552 slugging percentage.

Ohtani presents the biggest challenge for projected Pirates starter Jared Jones, who enters with a 4.78 ERA. Whether he reaches base or drives a mistake over the fence, Ohtani can turn one productive plate appearance into an early Dodgers advantage.

Jared Jones will be tasked with slowing down one of MLB’s most complete offenses. Los Angeles has scored 645 runs while ranking first in OPS, third in on-base percentage and second in slugging percentage.

Jones has recorded 72 strikeouts over 64 innings, giving Pittsburgh the swing-and-miss ability it needs in this matchup. He also carries a 4.78 ERA, a 1.20 WHIP and three quality starts. If Jones can turn his strikeout stuff into efficient innings and keep the Dodgers from stacking baserunners, he can give the Pirates an opportunity to stay close into the later innings.

Brandon Lowe provides the power Pittsburgh needs against a Dodgers staff that has held opponents to a .218 batting average. He leads the Pirates with 27 home runs and 80 RBI.

Lowe went 2-for-5 with a double and two runs in Friday’s 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Dodgers. Two days earlier, he went 1-for-3 with two walks, two runs and a walk-off solo home run against Detroit. He is batting .240 with four home runs through 19 games in August. If Lowe gets a pitch to drive against Skubal or the Dodgers bullpen, he is capable of changing the game with one swing.
