The Pittsburgh Pirates return home for the first time after the All-Star break, and begin the first half of a six-game homestand with a weekend series against the Miami Marlins. The Marlins will be without third baseman Hanley Ramirez, who was taken to the hospital after a hand injury from punching a fan (the temperature-control device, not a person) in St. Louis was showing signs of being infected.
