Impact Stokes had started the past three games, but he'll likely transition into a reserve role in the outfield after the Pirates recently added veteran Ben Gamel to the roster and returned Gregory Polanco from the COVID-19 injured list.

On base three times Tuesday Stokes went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Reds.

The 25-year-old did show some power/speed potential in the minors, and the Pirates seem willing to give him a chance to show what he's capable of as they search for consistent outfield production next to Bryan Reynolds.
