Lands with Dodgers Gorski (hand) signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Impact Nearly two weeks after being released by the Pirates, Gorski will now join the Dodgers organization to finish up the final stages of a hand injury that has kept him sidelined since late May. The 27-year-old is expected to return sometime in mid-to-late August but isn't likely to contribute much for the big-league club.

Cut loose by Bucs The Pirates released Gorski (hand) on July 12.

Impact Pittsburgh opted to part ways with Gorski a few weeks after he was transferred to Triple-A Indianapolis' 60-day injured list June 19 due to a left hand injury, which he sustained during his final appearance for the affiliate May 23, according to Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. According to Hiles, Gorski didn't require surgery to address the injury, but since he wasn't expected to return to game action until at least mid-to-late August, the Pirates chose to release him. The 27-year-old made his MLB debut with Pittsburgh earlier this season, playing in 15 games while slashing .195/.214/.390 over 42 plate appearances.

Bumped from 40-man roster The Pirates designated Gorski for assignment Friday.

Impact Gorski has been on the shelf with an undisclosed injury since May 23, and it's unclear when he'll be back in action. Friday's move opens up a spot for Yohan Ramirez on the 40-man roster.

Injured at Triple-A Triple-A Indianapolis transferred Gorski from its 7-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Friday while he recovers from an undisclosed injury.

Impact Gorski hasn't played for Indianapolis since May 23, so his move to the 60-day IL ensures that he'll remain on the shelf through the All-Star break. Before getting shut down at Indianapolis, Gorski got the chance to make his big-league debut with the Pirates earlier this season. The 27-year-old slashed .195/.214/.390 with two home runs in 42 plate appearances for Pittsburgh before he was optioned to Triple-A on May 17.

Relegated to Indianapolis The Pirates optioned Gorski to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact With Spencer Horwitz (wrist) returning from the injured list Saturday, Gorski will be sent back to the minors in order to clear space on the active roster. The 27-year-old slashed .195/.214/.390 with two homers, four RBI and two runs scored across 42 plate appearances during his time in the big leagues.

Pops second homer Gorski went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Mets.

Impact Gorski was in the lineup rarely with Derek Shelton managing the Pirates, but he has started five of six games since Don Kelly took over. He's struck out nine times in 19 plate appearances in that span while collecting only four hits, though he did manage a two-run homer in the second inning, providing what proved to be the winning runs for Pittsburgh.

Getting steady playing time at 1B Gorski will start at first base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Gorski will get his third consecutive start at first base and appears to have at least temporarily moved into a near-everyday role with Enmanuel Valdez (shoulder) recently joining Spencer Horwitz (wrist) and Endy Rodriguez (finger) on the injured list. Horwitz is in the midst of a minor-league rehab assignment and could be activated from the 10-day injured list at some point during the upcoming week, so Gorski's run as a lineup regular could prove to be short-lived.

Homers in first at-bat Gorski went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against the Angels.

Impact Gorski had his contract selected and replaced Jack Suwinski as outfield depth in Pittsburgh on Thursday. He immediately drew a start in place of Tommy Pham and delivered a home run in his first at-bat in the majors. Gorski figures to primarily be a bench piece, though he has shown some pop at an advanced age in the upper levels of the minors across the last few seasons.

Gets chance in majors Gorski's contract was selected by the Pirates on Thursday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Gorski had an excellent spring training and was in contention for a roster spot. He's carried that performance over into the start of the Triple-A season, maintaining a 122 wRC+ across 77 plate appearances. In combination with the struggles of the recently optioned Jack Suwinski, Gorski will now get his first chance in the majors.

Making roster push Gorski is making a push to break camp as the Pirates' fourth outfielder and is also an option as a backup first baseman, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Impact Gorski was formerly a well-regarded prospect in the Pirates' system, but he's stalled at Triple-A Indianapolis for the last two seasons. Now 27, he has three home runs across six at-bats in three Grapefruit League games. Gorski is also working at first base with Spencer Horwitz (wrist) sidelined, though he still faces an uphill battle to make the Opening Day roster given that he isn't on the 40-man roster.

Promoted to Triple-A Gorski was promoted Wednesday from Double-A Altoona to Triple-A Indianapolis, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact This move is more about clearing out space on Altoona's roster for fast-rising pitching prospect Bubba Chandler, who has been bumped up from High-A Greensboro. Gorski, 25, was slashing .238/.296/.437 with 17 homers and 19 steals through 93 games this summer at the Double-A level.

Suffers hamstring strain Gorski exited Thursday's game against Reading with a hamstring strain, Jarrod Prugar of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Impact Gorski appeared to suffer the injury while trying to make a catch in foul territory. No official timetable has been provided, though he's likely to miss some game action. Gorski has only a .730 OPS across 307 plate appearances with Altoona, a disappointing mark considering he's in his age-25 season.
