Nick Yorke - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sent to Triple-A The Pirates optioned Yorke to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

Impact The 24-year-old started Saturday against Angels southpaw Yusei Kikuchi, going 0-for-1 with a walk before being replaced by a pinch hitter. Yorke collected four hits with a double, a stolen base and six RBI in his first two games after being called up in mid-August, but he's gone 3-for-20 across the ensuing 11 contests and has now lost his place on the MLB roster. Ronny Simon was recalled from Indianapolis in a corresponding move.

Providing offensive spark Yorke went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored Monday against the Tigers.

Impact Yorke was recalled from the minors Sunday and has made consecutive starts at third base since. He's taken advantage of that opportunity, going 4-for-8 with six RBI in the two contests. Nevertheless, Yorke is likely to settle into a utility role now that Oneil Cruz has been activated from the injured list.

Drawing second straight start Yorke will start at third base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Yorke will be awarded a second straight start at the hot corner after he shined in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Red Sox upon being called from Triple-A Indianapolis earlier in the day. While batting out of the No. 7 spot, Yorke went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and three RBI. Yorke will likely handle a utility role while he's up with the Pirates and should get most of his playing time against left-handed pitching.

Cristopher Sánchez Strikes Out a Career-High 13, Phillies Beat Pirates 6-0

Back in big leagues The Pirates recalled Yorke from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Impact Yorke was sent down to Triple-A on Saturday, but he'll now return to Pittsburgh to make up for the loss of Jake Mangum (hamstring). Yorke has slashed .221/.308/.309 across 78 plate appearances in the majors this season and has experience at nearly every position.

Sent back to Triple-A The Pirates optioned Yorke to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

Impact The 24-year-old will be pushed off the active roster as a result of Jared Triolo's (knee) return from the injured list. Yorke has slashed .221/.308/.309 in the majors this season while adding a home run, six RBI and six runs scored through 78 plate appearances. His defensive versatility will make it easier for him to return to the majors later this year if Pittsburgh's depth is tested.

Playing time trending down Yorke is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact On the bench for the fifth time in six games, Yorke appears to have ceded primary duties at third base to Nick Gonzales. Yorke's limited opportunities at the hot corner are likely to dwindle further upon the return of Jared Triolo (knee), who remains on the 10-day injured list but is in the midst of a rehab assignment and could be activated within the next week.
