Jared Triolo doubles, steals base vs. Rockies

Jared Triolo

PIT Shortstop #19

Player Stats

Jared Triolo went 2-for-4 with a double, one run scored, one RBI, and one stolen base on Friday against the Rockies.

In classic Coors Field fashion, this game got crazy late. Triolo finally got his Pirates on the board with his double in the eighth that chased Kyle Freeland from the game and helped start a three-run rally. He also singled and stole a base earlier in this game as he tries to get himself going amidst a dreadful season thus far. Through 43 games, he has just a .238/.308/.277 slash line and has played shortstop in all but one game since Konnor Griffin went on the injured list more than three weeks ago.

Konnor Griffin

PIT Shortstop #85

Konnor Griffin is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Phillies

The Pirates are just being cautious with their star in his return from a forearm strain. Griffin returned last Friday and will now have sat in two of the team’s seven games since then. We would expect them to go back to playing him nearly every day after the All-Star break. On Thursday, Jared Triolo will bat ninth and play shortstop, and Jake Mangum will move into Griffin’s spot at the top of the order.
Konnor Griffin

PIT Shortstop #85

Konnor Griffin is out of the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Reds.

It doesn’t come as a surprise that the Pirates are going to manage Griffin’s workload carefully as he returns from a forearm strain that cost him nearly an entire month. The 20-year-old prodigy went 2-for-4 with a leadoff homer in his return from the injured list on Friday evening. He’s looked like a five-category fantasy monster since the start of May after taking a couple weeks to get acclimated to the big-league level. It’ll be Jared Triolo taking a turn at shortstop in his place. He should be ready to roll for Sunday’s series finale.
Konnor Griffin

PIT Shortstop #85

Pirates activated SS Konnor Griffin from the 10-day injured list.

After nearly four weeks away due to a forearm strain, Griffin starting at shortstop and leading off in Friday’s game against the Reds. His return means that Nick Gonzales and Jared Triolo will go back to fighting for time at third. Gonzales figures to get most of the starts, but he is sitting in favor of Triolo tonight.
Konnor Griffin

PIT Shortstop #85

Konnor Griffin is not in the Pirates’ starting lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Blue Jays.

Fans tuning in to MLB Sunday Leadoff on Peacock will miss out on seeing one of the most exciting rookies in the game as the 20-year-old shortstop is getting a breather in this one. Jared Triolo will start in his place at shortstop and will bat ninth for the Bucs against Blue Jays’ right-hander Dylan Cease on Sunday afternoon in Toronto.
Nick Gonzales

PIT 3rd Baseman #3

Nick Gonzales is not in Pittsburgh’s starting lineup for Friday’s game against the Phillies.

It’s the second-straight absence for Gonzales, who appears to be losing out to Jared Triolo of late. He’s hit .315/.380/.364 in 36 games started, including .333/.393/.382 against right-handers, so we’re a little surprised the Pirates have pulled back on him even if he’s no power hitter.
Spencer Horwitz

PIT 1st Baseman #2

Spencer Horwitz is not in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Rockies.

Horwitz has been tearing the cover off the ball recently, hitting .364 (8-for-22) with six RBI and more walks (five) than strikeouts (three) over his last seven games. The 28-year-old lacks the requisite power production to be a viable mixed-league fantasy starter, but he’s doing enough from a batting average standpoint to be a corner infield option in deeper leagues. It’ll be Jared Triolo at the cold corner on Wednesday night in his place.
Brandon Lowe

PIT 2nd Baseman #5

Brandon Lowe is on the bench for Tuesday’s showdown against the Diamondbacks.

It’s a routine off day for Lowe with southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez toeing the rubber for Arizona in this one. Nick Gonzales takes over at second base with Jared Triolo getting into the lineup at the hot corner. The other notable trickle-down effect here is top prospect Konnor Griffin bumping up to the sixth spot in the order, the highest he’s batted since arriving in the majors last month.
Jared Triolo

PIT Shortstop #19

Pirates activated SS/3B Jared Triolo from the 10-day injured list.

Triolo returns to Pittsburgh’s infield mix after missing nearly one month following right knee surgery. A couple things changed during his absence, most notably the top prospect in baseball, Konnor Griffin, taking over as the club’s starting shortstop in addition to signing a long-term contract extension. That qualifies as a notable development. Triolo will most likely function in a bench role, filling in occasionally across the infield dirt when needed.
Jared Triolo

PIT Shortstop #19

Jared Triolo (knee) has resumed baseball activities.

He should run the bases next week in Florida. It’s hard to tell exactly how bad Triolo’s injury is from the outside, but it sounds like he’s at least a few weeks from being a candidate to be activated. Assuming everything goes right in his rehab, that is.
Jared Triolo

PIT Shortstop #19

Pirates placed INF Jared Triolo on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 4, with a right knee patellar tendon injury.

Triolo sustained the injury during Saturday’s game. While the severity of the injury is not yet known, it sure sounds like Triolo will be shelved for a while. Billy Cook was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis to take his place on the Pirates’ active roster.

Jalen Beeks will undergo season-ending flexor tendon surgery.

It’s a rather unexpected development since Beeks hit the injured list with back spasms last month. The well-traveled 32-year-old southpaw should be a full-go next spring. He finishes the season with a respectable 3.81 ERA across 26 innings of work.

Blue Jays transferred OF/DH George Springer to the family medical emergency list.

It’s merely a procedural move since Springer has exhausted the number of days he can spend on the paternity list. Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters the 36-year-old veteran will spend a few additional days away from the club on paternity leave before returning to Toronto but could return for Monday’s series opener against the Giants.

Coleman Crow (elbow) will make a minor league rehab appearance on Saturday for Triple-A Nashville.

Crow is working his way back from a flexor strain that put him on the shelf back in early June. The 25-year-old rookie should be an option for the Brewers again after the All-Star break once he gets a couple tune-up outings under his belt.

Wade returns to Houston’s corner outfield mix following a nearly one-month absence recovering from a right hamstring strain. The 32-year-old veteran was 4-for-12 with one round-tripper in four games with the Astros before getting hurt. He’ll play regularly against right-handed starters moving forward.

Astros recalled OF Zach Dezenzo from Triple-A Sugar Land.

Dezenzo earns another look with the Astros after hitting .280 (23-for-82) with two homers and eight steals in 23 games at the Triple-A level since early June. He’s likely to be relegated to a platoon role and won’t play enough to have any realistic fantasy appeal.

Astros optioned OF Jake Meyers to Triple-A Sugar Land.

Meyers has basically been usurped by Taylor Trammell as Houston’s primary center fielder over the last few weeks. The 30-year-old has been shipped to the minors after hitting just .206/.264/.316 with three homers and one steal across 148 plate appearances in 52 games. He’s not special enough as a defender to justify being a complete non-factor at the plate.

Astros optioned OF Joey Loperfido to Triple-A Sugar Land.

Loperfido returns to the minors after hitting just .136 (6-for-44 with one homer in 19 games since returning from the injured list back on June 9. The 27-year-old former prospect projects as a strong-side platoon option at this stage of his development, but he simply hasn’t hit enough to make that happen this season.
