Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Seattle Mariners - News - May 27, 2023 | FOX Sports

Carlos Santana - Exits with injury Santana was removed from Sunday's game against the Mariners due to lumbar spine muscular tightness, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Impact Santana went 0-for-2 with a walk to begin Sunday's matchup, but he was replaced defensively in the bottom of the sixth inning. He's being examined and treated following his removal, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for Monday's series opener in San Francisco. If Santana is sidelined, Connor Joe could see increased time at first base with Ji-Man Choi (Achilles) still on the 60-day injured list.

AJ Pollock - Remains on bench Pollock (leg) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Pollock hasn't appeared in a game since Wednesday, when he tweaked his leg while attempting to a steal a base in a 6-1 win over the Athletics. He'll now be on the bench for a fourth consecutive contest, though the Mariners have faced right-handed starting pitchers in each of their three games with Pittsburgh. The righty-hitting Pollock has been filling a short-side platoon role of late, so he may not have started against Pittsburgh even if he was 100 percent healthy.

Cody Bolton - Summoned to majors The Pirates recalled Bolton from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

Impact He'll give Pittsburgh a fresh arm out of the bullpen after the Pirates needed four relievers to cover the final six innings of Saturday's 5-0 loss after starter Vince Velasquez recorded just six outs before departing with right elbow discomfort. The Pirates placed Velasquez on the 15-day injured list to create room on the 26-man active roster for Bolton, who gave up three earned runs and struck out five in six innings across his prior three appearances out of the big-league bullpen this season.
