Tyler Callihan - Smacks three-run homer Callihan went 2-for-4 with a walk and a three-run homer Sunday against the Reds.

Impact Callihan got the Pirates off to a fast offensive start with a three-run homer in the second inning. That marked his first long ball since June 10, spanning a 14-game stretch during which he had hit .211 with three RBI and four runs scored. Despite the strong showing Sunday, Callihan could be on the outside looking in for playing time due to the return of Konnor Griffin and the emergence of Esmerlyn Valdez.

He began his day with an RBI double in the second inning and then blasted a solo home run in the eighth inning following a lengthy rain delay. Valdez now has a home run in each of his last three appearances and has five long balls across 44 plate appearances to begin his big-league career.

Spencer Horwitz - Eyeing return after All-Star break Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said Sunday that Horwitz's (hamstring) recovery timeline is being measured in "weeks, not days," and the first baseman isn't expected to retu...

Impact Pittsburgh placed Horwitz on the shelf Thursday, and Cherington's comments would seem to imply that the 28-year-old is dealing with more than a mild strain of his left hamstring. Ryan O'Hearn will make a fourth consecutive start at first base Sunday and should serve as the primary option at the position until at least mid-to-late July while Horwitz is on the mend. Before getting hurt, Horwitz had settled in as the Pirates' leadoff hitter and had slashed .280/.386/.455 with a 40:40 BB:K, 10 home runs, 33 RBI and 36 runs on the season.

Impact The timeline laid out by Cherington isn't an unexpected one, after the GM had previously said June 14 that Cruz was likely to need 4-to-6 weeks to recover from non-displaced fourth and fifth metacarpal fractures in his left hand. Cruz has made positive strides in his recovery over the past two weeks and is scheduled to report to the Pirates' facility in Florida this week to accelerate his baseball activities.

Jared Triolo - Utility role likely awaits Triolo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Impact Triolo's streak of 10 consecutive starts will come to an end Sunday while he retreats to the bench for the series finale. After Konnor Griffin returned from the injured list Friday, Triolo appears likely to move into a utility role in the infield and is expected to notice a dramatic decline in playing time.

Henry Davis - Getting third start in four games Davis will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Reds.

Impact Davis will claim his third start in four games after going 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two RBI and two additional runs in his previous three contests. He looks to have worked his way into a timeshare at catcher with Endy Rodriguez, who has been the far better performer of the two backstops through the halfway point of the season.

Endy Rodríguez - On bench Sunday Rodriguez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Impact Rodriguez is on the bench for the third time in four games and looks to be part of a timeshare at catcher with Henry Davis. The 26-year-old has been the far better producer of the two backstops this season, submitting an .823 OPS in 99 plate appearances with the Pirates. Davis, meanwhile, has delivered a .558 OPS over 157 plate appearances.
