SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • Associated Press

Clubs homer in win Joe went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 13-7 win over the Cubs.

Impact Joe opened September with just five hits across 13 games before breaking out of the slump Wednesday. This was his first multi-hit effort since Aug. 24. The 31-year-old is up to 11 homers, 40 RBI, 58 runs scored and 28 doubles through 125 contests this season, all of which are season highs. He's also logged three stolen bases with a .236/.330/.416 slash line across 440 plate appearances.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to bench Sunday Joe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Joe has gone just 3-for-36 over his past 10 games and will take a seat Sunday for the third time in Pittsburgh's last four contests. Alfonso Rivas will start at first base and bat eighth in the series finale.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not in lineup Friday Joe is absent from the lineup Friday at Atlanta.

Impact Alfonso Rivas will play first base while Bryan Reynolds takes a turn as the Pirates' designated hitter and Josh Palacios covers right field. Joe, who was also on the bench in Wednesday's series versus the Brewers, has gone 2-for-31 (.065) over his last nine games.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Omitted from lineup Joe is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Chicago Cubs vs. Pittsburgh Pirates Highlights

AUGUST 25, 2023 • FOX SPORTS

Three doubles, four runs in rout Joe went 3-for-4 with three doubles, an RBI and four runs scored in Monday's 11-1 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Joe provided a jolt of offense Monday, ripping doubles in the fourth, sixth and eighth innings, while scoring runs on four separate occasions. The 31-year-old is now slashing .263/.364/.474 with seven doubles, three homers, five RBI and 15 runs scored across 76 second-half plate appearances.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hitting streak reaches five games Joe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Brewers.

Impact Joe hit one of three home runs on the day for the Pirates with his being a solo shot to left field to begin the fourth. Joe has just two home runs since the beginning of June but has now hit safely in five straight games while picking up an extra-base hit two days in a row. Joe remains in a short-side platoon role at first base with Alfonso Rivas while occasionally picking up starts at DH like he did Sunday.

AUGUST 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets third straight start Joe will start at first base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Joe has now picked up three consecutive starts at first base, serving as the Pirates' leadoff man in two of those contests when Pittsburgh has opposed left-handed starting pitchers. With Carlos Santana and Ji-Man Choi having recently been traded away, Joe has a clearer path to playing time at first base, but it's unclear if he'll get a look in a near-everyday role or if he'll have to settle for the short side of a platoon at the position with the lefty-hitting Alfonso Rivas, whom the Pirates acquired from the Padres on Tuesday.

Stuck in short-side platoon Joe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Guardians.

Impact Joe has slipped into a short-side platoon role since the start of July, as he's started only three of 14 games. In part, that's been caused by the promotion of Henry Davis, but Joe has also slumped considerably. Tuesday's homer was his first since May 30, and since June 3 he has hit only .218 with a 28.6 percent strikeout rate across 87 at-bats.

JULY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
