PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Pirates have one prospect that they have high hopes for and is showing them he's finally putting it together in 2026.

Pirates outfield prospect Edward Florentino has had a great May with High-A Greensboro, which came after he finished his rehab assignment with Single-A Bradenton , as he returned from an ankle injury.

Florentino has slashed .269/.286/.500 for an OPS of .786 with Greensboro, with seven hits in 26 at-bats, two home runs and seven RBI in his first six games.

It's a great start for Florentino this month and is an encouraging sign for his development moving forward in a pivotal 2026 for him.

Florentino suffered his ankle injury in mid-February, after just a few Spring Training games, which kept him out for the next month.

He restarted baseball activities in late-March and eventually began his rehab assignment with Bradenton on April 19.
