In 35 games since returning from a back injury Aug. 2, the 26-year-old has slashed .298/.344/.553 with eight doubles, two triples, eight home runs, 24 RBI and 20 runs.

Swats 12th homer Hayes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-2 victory versus the Brewers.

Impact Hayes broke a 2-2 tie with his fifth-inning solo shot, and that held up as Milwaukee didn't score against in the contest. The third baseman has gone deep four times over his past 11 games, a span in which he's slashing .348/.412/.696 with eight RBI and nine runs. Hayes is up to a career-high 12 homers on the campaign, five more than he hit over 560 plate appearances last season.

Gets breather Wednesday Hayes is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Royals.

Impact Hayes has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball in recent weeks, boasting a .366/.422/.683 batting line with six home runs and 19 RBI over his last 20 games. He'll grab a routine night off Wednesday as Vinny Capra fills in at third base for the visiting Pirates.

Reaches five times in victory Hayes went 4-for-4 with a double, a walk, a run and an RBI in Monday's 5-0 win against the Royals.

Impact Hayes reached safely in each of his five plate appearances, finishing with his fourth career game of at least four hits. The third baseman's lone extra-base knock was a double that plated a run in the third frame. Hayes has been swinging a hot stick for about three weeks, racking up 11 multi-hit games in 19 contests since Aug. 8. He's batting .372 (29-for-78) with five homers, six doubles, one triple, 17 RBI and 12 runs over that span.

Swats leadoff homer Hayes went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk, two total RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-6 loss to the Cubs.

Impact Hayes has seven multi-hit efforts with two homers and four doubles over his last 11 contests. His blast Saturday opened the scoring for the Pirates in the first inning, though it quickly went downhill for the home team. Hayes is up to 10 homers, 48 RBI, 45 runs scored and nine stolen bases while slashing .264/.303/.432 over 96 games this season.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Increased power Hayes went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Cardinals.

Impact Hayes took Zack Thompson yard in the fifth inning to tally his ninth homer of the season. Four of his long balls have come in 18 games since he was activated from the injured list Aug. 2, and he's also tacked on five additional extra-base knocks. The only downside to Hayes' performance in that span is that he has yet to attempt a stolen base.

AUGUST 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets breather Tuesday Hayes is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Impact This appears to be a scheduled day of rest for Hayes, who went 1-for-5 with a double in Monday's series against St. Louis. Vinny Capra will play third base and bat seventh Tuesday as the Pirates take on veteran right-hander Adam Wainwright.

Not starting nightcap Hayes isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Reds, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Impact After a 1-for-4 performance in Game 1, Hayes will take a seat for the second game of Sunday's action. Jared Triolo will step in as the Pirates' third baseman and bat eighth.

AUGUST 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Belts another homer Wednesday Hayes went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Moved up to the leadoff spot against southpaw Max Fried, Hayes rapped out singles in the third and fourth innings before launching a solo shot off Collin McHugh in the seventh. The 26-year-old third baseman has five hits, including two homers and a double, over the last two games, and while he's missed significant action over the last couple months due to injuries, since the beginning of June he's slashing .312/.321/.514 in 28 contests with five of his seven home runs on the season and 20 of his 39 RBI.

AUGUST 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mashes sixth homer Hayes went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a three-run home run in Tuesday's 8-6 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Both extra-base hits came off Yonny Chirinos, including Hayes' first-inning homer that staked the Pirates to an early 3-1 lead. The third baseman had gone just 1-for-15 with six strikeouts in his prior four games after returning from lower back discomfort, but he looked 100 percent healthy Tuesday and had posted a .337/337/.518 slash line with three homers and 13 RBI over 21 games in June before his back trouble cropped up. If he is fully recovered, Hayes might be ready to pick up where he left off.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Held out Monday Hayes is not in the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Hayes went 0-for-8 with four strikeouts over the last two days and is just a few days removed from a multi-week stint on the injured list, so he will get a breather Monday. Jared Triolo will man the hot corner in place of Hayes.

AUGUST 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Friday Hayes is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Jeff Triolo gets the start at third base, batting sixth against right-hander Colin Rea. There has been no word of a setback with Hayes' lower back nor has there been any mention of a new injury, so it seems the Pirates are just being cautious with Hayes and easing him back into regular action following his IL stint. Hayes has gone 1-for-7 with an RBI in his first two games back.

AUGUST 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from IL The Pirates reinstated Hayes (back) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Hayes won't be in the Pirates' lineup Tuesday against the Tigers, but he was deemed healthy enough to rejoin Bucs' active roster after going 1-for-9 with a run scored during his three-game rehab assignment in Triple-A. Hayes has been on the IL since July 7 and will most likely return to action Wednesday.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing activation Hayes (back) won't be in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Tigers, but he could be activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday or Thursday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com...

Impact For those in weekly lineup leagues, Hayes could play most of the week, but he won't be in the lineup for the first of six Pirates games this week. In the meantime, Jared Triolo figures to continue working at the hot corner until Hayes returns to the lineup.

AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Begins rehab assignment Hayes (back) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Hayes has been on the injured list since July 7 with lower back discomfort, and he'll now begin the final step before rejoining the Pirates' lineup. The team hasn't indicated how long it plans on keeping Hayes in the minors, but it's certainly possible he returns before the end of July.

JULY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Resumes baseball activity Hayes (back) resumed baseball activity Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Hayes has played in only one game since June 24, though he took a step forward by running, taking grounders and hitting Wednesday. It's likely that he'll need a rehab assignment, so a return may still be a couple of weeks away.

JULY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads back to IL Pittsburgh placed Hayes on the 10-day injured list Friday with lower-back discomfort.

Impact Hayes just returned Thursday from a two-week absence for a lower-back issue, and he apparently wasn't quite over it. He'll be sidelined through at least July 17, with Jared Triolo getting an extended audition at third base in Pittsburgh.

JULY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes bag in return Hayes went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Hayes had a minimal stay on the injured list due to lower-back stiffness. He was able to pick up his ninth steal of the season, but offense was limited for the Pirates against Julio Urias and the Dodgers' bullpen. Hayes hit .337 (28-for-83) over 21 games in June prior to his injury, and he'll look to get back on track quickly. For the season, the third baseman owns a .252/.290/.393 slash line with five home runs, 32 RBI and 34 runs scored over 75 contests.

JULY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns from injured list Hayes was activated from the injured list prior to Thursday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Hayes has been sidelined since June 28 with lower-back stiffness. He should return to an everyday role at third base, and he'll lead off Thursday's game against the Dodgers with lefty Julio Urias on the mound.

JULY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes batting practice Hayes (back) took batting practice Monday, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hayes has expressed hope that he'll be ready for activation from the injured list when first eligible Wednesday. The Pirates have not confirmed that that's the plan, but the third baseman being on the road trip with the team and taking swings in the batting cage is a good sign. He's been out of commission for a little over a week with lower-back stiffness.

JULY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hope for minimum IL stint Hayes (back) is expected to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible next week, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Hayes landed on the injured list Wednesday, retroactive to Sunday, because of a lower back issue that had kept him out of the Pirates' lineup since Saturday. It's not a serious concern, though, and it sounds like he will be ready to rock for the final stretch of games leading into the All-Star break. Jared Triolo is getting a brief audition at third base in Hayes' absence.

JUNE 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on 10-day IL Pittsburgh placed Hayes on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to June 25, with lower back stiffness.

Impact Jared Triolo has been brought up in a corresponding roster move to help out at third base. This doesn't seem like an overly serious injury for Hayes, who had been held out of the Pirates' lineup since Saturday but will be eligible to return to action as early as next Tuesday.

JUNE 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out of lineup Hayes isn't in the Pirates' lineup Tuesday against San Diego, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Hayes -- slashing .337/.337/.518 since the start of June -- will get another day off Tuesday after also sitting out Sunday's game. Rodolfo Castro will take over at the hot corner and bat sixth.

JUNE 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out of Sunday's lineup Hayes is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.comreports.

Impact The 26-year-old started the past six games and will take a seat after he posted a .640 OPS and 32 percent strikeout rate during that stretch. Rodolfo Castro will man the hot corner and bat eighth in Hayes' place Sunday.
