JAKE MARISNICK #12 - CENTER FIELDER - LOS ANGELES DODGERS
Bryan Reynolds returns to Pirates' lineup; Jake Marisnick heads to IL CHICAGO — Any time a baseball player goes down with an oblique injury, caution is warranted. The very nature of swinging a bat requires an a...
Placed on 10-day injured list Marisnick was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right great toe sprain Monday.
Impact Marisnick sat out Sunday against the Marlins and was seen with a walking boot on his right foot prior to Monday's series opener against the Cubs. It's not yet clear how much time Marisnick is expected to miss, but he'll likely see a slight decrease in playing time upon his return if Bryan Reynolds remains with the team after the trade deadline.

Takes seat Saturday Marisnick isn't starting Saturday against Miami.
Impact Marisnick started the last eight games and slashed .357/.400/.714 with two homers, four doubles, five RBI, four runs and a stolen base. He'll get a breather Saturday while Greg Allen starts in center field and bats second.

Hitting well since return Marisnick went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI on Sunday against the Rockies.
Impact Marisnick has been in the lineup for all seven games since being activated from the injured list. Though he's known primarily for his glove, Marisnick has gone 10-for-25 with two homers, five RBI and four runs scored in the same seven-game span. So long as Bryan Reynolds (oblique) is sidelined, Marisnick appears to have a clear path to playing time in the Pittsburgh outfield.

Garners fourth consecutive start Marisnick will start in center field and bat seventh in Thursday's game against the Marlins.
Impact Marisnick will pick up his fourth start in as many games since he returned from the 60-day injured list Monday. The righty-hitting Marisnick has benefited from the Pirates opposing three lefty starters during that stretch, but he was also included in the lineup during Wednesday's 5-4 loss, when right-hander Pablo Lopez took the hill for Miami. Marisnick looks like he may get a full-time look from the Pirates while Bryan Reynolds (oblique) and Greg Allen (hamstring) are on the IL through at least the All-Star break.

Pops second homer Marisnick went 1-for-3 with his second home run of the season in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Marlins.
Impact His third-inning blast off Daniel Castano was only Marisnick's second homer of the season, but both have come in the last two games after he made his return to the lineup from a thumb injury. The 31-year-old carries a .200/.241/.364 slash line through 24 games on the season, but he'll likely continues to see consistent playing time as long as he's producing.

Homers, steals base Marisnick went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, a double, two runs scored, a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 5-1 win over Miami.
Impact Marisnick stuffed the stat sheet in his first MLB appearance in over two months due to thumb surgery. He started with a walk, a steal and a run scored in the second inning followed by a double in the fourth. He capped his night off with a two-run shot in the ninth. It was just his second multi-hit game of the year and first since April 10. Marisnick is slashing .192/.236/.308 with four extra-base hits through 23 games.

Activated, starting Monday Marisnick (thumb) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Monday. He'll start in center field and bat eighth in the Pirates' series opener in Miami.
Impact Marisnick underwent surgery in early May to address UCL damage in his left thumb, but he'll rejoin the active roster after missing just over two months. He recently appeared in seven rehab games and hit .250 with two doubles, two runs, two walks and 13 strikeouts. Bryan Reynolds (oblique) was placed on the 10-day IL as part of a corresponding move, and the righty-hitting Marisnick will likely fill out the shorter side of a platoon in center field while Reynolds is on the shelf.

Kicks off rehab assignment Marisnick (thumb) went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts Tuesday in his first rehab game with Triple-A Indianapolis.
Impact Marisnick returned to action for the first time since May 9 after a prolonged recovery from thumb surgery. The 31-year-old also tested positive for the coronavirus just over a week ago and was placed on the COVID-19-related injured list, but he's since reverted to the 60-day IL. As a result of the transaction, Marisnick won't be eligible for activation until next weekend at the soonest, even though he shouldn't need that much time to regain his timing at the plate. He's expected to serve as a depth outfielder for the big club once reinstated.

Close to rehab assignment Marisnick (thumb) will likely begin a rehab assignment next week, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Marisnick has been sidelined since early May while recovering from thumb surgery and landed on the COVID-19 injured list Monday. It doesn't appear as though his shift to the COVID-19 IL will impact his progress in his recovery, as he'll likely be able to return to game action in the minors next week. Given the length of his absence, Marisnick will likely need to appear in several rehab games prior to rejoining the Pirates.

Ramping up from thumb surgery Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Marisnick (thumb) is building up his post-surgery pain tolerance, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
Impact Marisnick is testing his surgically repaired left thumb by gripping a bat and catching the ball, among other activities, but he's not yet swinging or playing the outfield. He's likely at least a couple weeks away from making his return from the 10-day injured list.

Impact The team added that Marisnick is a bit ahead of schedule in his recovery from May 12 surgery on his left thumb. Following the procedure, Marisnick was projected to remain sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks before resuming baseball activities, but a return from the 10-day injured list in mid-June now looks to be a realistic outcome for the 30-year-old.

Impact Once he's cleared for activities, Marisnick will likely need to put in several workouts before heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment, so he won't be a realistic candidate to return from the 10-day injured list until late June or early July. Marisnick's absence leaves the Pirates without an obvious fourth outfielder, which could result in lefty-hitting starters Ben Gamel and Jack Suwinski playing more regularly against southpaws.
