Former Pittsburgh Pirates players Jordy Mercer, Alex Presley and Steven Brault will join the team's television coverage on SportsNet Pittsburgh for the 2024 season.
The Nationals were forced to postpone their first four games of the season due to the outbreak and returned to play earlier this week against the Atlanta Braves.
Mercer, 34, went 2-for-11 with a pair of walks in six games and 13 total plate appearances with the Yankees. The nine-year MLB veteran was Pittsburgh’s everyday shortstop from 2013-18, hitting .257/.317/.383 in 779 games.
