PITTSBRURGH — Baseball's top pitching prospect is getting called up to the majors. The Pittsburgh Pirates have decided to promote 22-year-old right hander Bubba Chandler ahead of their game Friday against the Colorado Rockies, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The Pirates are looking for their future manager that can hopefully turn the team around. They may have a potential candidate that is young and fiery.

The benches briefly cleared during Pittsburgh's 5-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night. Pham's demonstrable reaction to drawing a walk in the seventh inning elicited a response from Toronto catcher Tyler Heineman, and things escalated from there.

Tensions flared between Pirates outfielder Tommy Pham and Blue Jays catcher Tyler Heineman on Monday night at PNC Park, and while the waters quickly calmed after the benches cleared, there was still a mix of confusion and emotion after the game.

Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes is putting together a Cy Young-worthy season everywhere but in the win-loss column.

If there is one difference between Skubal and Skenes, it is that Skubal is in attack mode more than anyone in the league. He leads MLB in throwing his first pitch for a strike at 70% of the time. Overall, he throws strikes 55% of the time -- good for third most in baseball.
