Exits with tight hamstring Pache left Thursday's game against Toronto with right hamstring tightness.
Impact It's been a difficult year for Pache, who now has to deal with an injury on top of a very poor performance at the plate. He's hitting just .111/.152/.206 through 68 plate appearances, striking out in 36.8 percent of them. The 22-year-old was always expected to be a glove-first player, but no glove is enough to make up for a wRC+ of -2. Ender Inciarte and Guillermo Heredia are both out with hamstring injuries, but both could return soon, so Atlanta should be able to cover for Pache if he's forced to miss time.

Recalled by Atlanta Pache was recalled by Atlanta on Saturday.
Impact Pache had dealt with a left groin strain since mid-April and was sent down by Atlanta after he was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. However, he'll now rejoin the major-league roster after Guillermo Heredia (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day IL. Pache could see playing time in center field while Heredia is unavailable.

Playing in intrasquad games Pache (groin) has advanced to playing in intrasquad games at Atlanta's alternate training site, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact Pache has spent the required 10 days on the injured list with his left groin strain, though he remains without a clear timetable to return. The fact that he's getting into game action of some kind suggests that he could be back soon, especially since Atlanta could really use him with backup center fielder Ender Inciarte (hamstring) also on the injured list.
