Ben Gamel - Page 12 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Doubles twice in loss Gamel went 3-for-4 with two doubles in Sunday's 5-2 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Gamel entered Sunday's contest in a 5-for-30 skid dating back to May 26, the last time he produced a multi-hit performance. The veteran outfielder is slashing .214/.284/.369 through 95 plate appearances with Cleveland and Pittsburgh this season. He has five extra-base hits with one RBI this month.

Sits in second straight Gamel is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

Impact The lefty-hitting Gamel will hit the bench for the second game in a row with the Pirates facing a second left-handed starting pitcher (Mike Minor) in as days. Even in future matchups against right-handed pitching, Gamel may have a tougher time consistently cracking the lineup now that Ka'ai Tom -- who is also left-handed -- is back in action in the outfield after returning from the injured list Saturday.

Another two-hit performance Gamel went 2-for-4 with a double and a triple in Wednesday's loss against the Cubs.

Impact Gamel has recorded two-hit appearances in three of his last four contests while hitting safely in four of his last five contests. The outfielder continues to have a down season but his numbers are trending in the right direction, as he owns a .267 average with a .746 OPS over his last 10 games. He should have a clear path to a strong-side platoon role in left field for the foreseeable future with Phillip Evans (hamstring) and Ka'ai Tom (wrist) on the injured list.

Trevor Williams pitches Cubs past Pirates 4-1

Trevor Williams pitched six innings and singled twice against his former team, helping the streaking Chicago Cubs top the stumbling Pittsburgh Pirates 4-1

Finding his groove Gamel went 2-for-2 with a double and a walk in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs.

Impact The left-handed hitter batted second in the lineup against Chicago's Jake Arrieta. Prior to Tuesday, Gamel had not hit higher than sixth in any of his seven starts for Pittsburgh. He's 5-for-14 with a walk in his last four games and with another righty (Trevor Williams) starting Wednesday, there's a good chance he'll be in the lineup. Gamel has two hits in five career at-bats against Williams.

Not starting Sunday Gamel is out of the lineup Sunday against Atlanta, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 29-year-old started the past four games in left field but will head to the bench against lefty Max Fried on Sunday. Gamel has a .167/.219/.200 slash line with 11 strikeouts in 32 plate appearances since joining Pittsburgh. Ildemaro Vargas will take over in left field in the series finale.

Added to active roster Gamel was added to the Pirates' active roster Monday.

Impact Gamel joins the roster one day after getting claimed off waivers from Cleveland. The Pirates could certainly use help in their outfield, as only Bryan Reynolds has an above-average batting line this season among the team's outfield regulars, but it's not clear that Gamel can provide that help. He's posted a wRC+ north of 100 in just one of his six seasons in the majors. Todd Frazier was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
