Likely to return this week Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said he expects Gamel (hamstring) to return from the 10-day injured list during the team's two-game series with the Yankees that begins Tuesd...
Impact Gamel looks to have made a full recovery from his strained left hamstring after beginning a rehab assignment at Triple-A Indianapolis on June 23 and going 7-for-31 with two extra-base hits and two walks over his eight games with the affiliate. Prior to landing on the shelf May 29, the lefty-hitting Gamel enjoyed a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching, but he may have to settle for a reserve role upon his return from the IL with the Pirates having since installed rookies Jack Suwinski and Bligh Madris as their full-time starters in the corner outfield.

Set to begin rehab assignment Gamel (hamstring) reported to Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment with the affiliate, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.
Impact Gamel has been on the 10-day injured list since May 29 with a strained left hamstring, so the Pirates will likely keep him on assignment in Indianapolis through the weekend before considering activating him. Though the 30-year-old was playing regularly against right-handed pitching prior to landing on the shelf, Gamel could have to settle for a reserve role once reinstated with the rebuilding Pirates perhaps inclined to give younger players a look in the outfield. All of Jack Suwinski, Bligh Madris and Cal Mitchell are probably viewed as higher-priority options than Gamel at this point.
