CONNOR JOE NEWS

Dealt to Pirates Joe was traded from the Rockies to the Pirates on Sunday in exchange for pitching prospect Nick Garcia.

Impact A 30-year-old capable of playing first base and the outfield corners, Joe was quite productive (.285/.379/.469 slash line) in a small sample in 2021 and then fell off last season. He has been roughly league average (99 wRC+) for his career against lefties and below average (89 wRC+) against same-handed pitchers, so Joe could operate on the short side of a platoon.

Placed on injured list Joe was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right serratus strain Thursday, retroactive to Sept. 26.

Impact Joe took on a depth role for the Rockies over the last month, and he's now dealing with a shoulder issue that will sideline him for the final week of the regular season. The 30-year-old slashed .238/.338/.359 with seven homers, 56 runs, 28 RBI and six steals over 111 games in 2022.

Goes deep Sunday Joe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.

Impact Joe's playing time has almost completely dried up in September, but he's been in the lineup for two of the last three games. His homer Sunday was his first since Aug. 19, though he saw just 16 at-bats across seven games in that span. It was his seventh homer of the year to go with 27 RBI, 54 runs scored, six stolen bases and a .241/.343/.362 slash line across 458 plate appearances. The uptick in playing time for Joe is likely due to Michael Toglia being mired in an 0-for-18 slump.

Homers amid cold stretch Joe went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 7-4 win over the Giants on Friday.

Impact Joe went deep off Giants starter Alex Wood for his sixth home run of the season. The long ball comes amidst a terrible drought for Joe. He was 4-for-47 over the previous 30 days with a slash line of .085/.140/.149. The 30-year-old outfielder's two-hit game was the first since July 16.

Back on bench against righty Joe is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Joe went 1-for-11 with two walks and two runs while starting in each of the Rockies' past three contests, but Colorado faced left-handed pitchers on each occasion. With right-hander Adam Wainwright on the bump for St. Louis in the series finale, the righty-hitting Joe will retreat to the bench. Joe looks like he'll be stuck in a short-side platoon role with Sam Hilliard for the foreseeable future.

Starts second straight game Joe went 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Impact Joe was out of the lineup for seven consecutive games after appearing to fall out of favor in Colorado. However, he's now started consecutive contests -- both against lefties -- and reached base three times in nine plate appearances in that span. Since the All-Star break, however, Joe has only four hits across 41 at-bats, and he appears to be limited to a short-side platoon role for the time being.

Sitting in fourth straight Joe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact The righty-hitting Joe finds himself on the bench for his fourth consecutive contest, and his absence from the lineup against a lefty (Jose Quintana) suggests that Rockies manager Bud Black may not even view the 29-year-old as a short-side platoon bat at this point. Yonathan Daza, Elehuris Montero and Sam Hilliard should continue to benefit from more playing time while Joe's role is de-emphasized.

Not in Sunday's lineup Joe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Arizona.

Impact Joe is 3-for-38 across his past 10 games and will take a seat Sunday for the third time in Colorado's last four contests. Sam Hilliard will start in left field in the series finale versus the Diamondbacks.
