Bailey Falter - Activated from injured list The Pirates activated Falter (triceps) from the 15-day injured list Monday.
Impact While the Pirates have not yet announced anything to the effect, Falter should be lined up to rejoin the rotation Tuesday in Houston. The left-hander has been out since early July with left triceps tendinitis, having thrown 60 pitches during his lone rehab start. If he does indeed take the ball Tuesday, he could be limited a bit from a pitch count perspective.

Bailey Falter - Returns from injured list The Pirates activated Falter (triceps) from the 15-day injured list Monday.
Impact While the Pirates haven't yet announced their plans for Tuesday's game in Houston, Falter should be lined up to start if he isn't needed out of the bullpen in Monday's series opener. The left-hander has been out since early July with left triceps tendinitis, but he should be reasonably stretched out for starting duties after throwing 60 pitches during his lone rehab start with Triple-A Indianapolis last Wednesday.

Jack Suwinski - Optioned to Indianapolis The Pirates optioned Suwinski to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.
Impact Since being called up to the majors June 4, Suwinski has slashed .193/.261/.358 with five home runs, 13 RBI and a 32.5 percent strikeout rate across 118 plate appearances. The 26-year-old will look to improve his approach at the plate in Triple-A, where he's gone 7-for-28 with one home run and two RBI.

Nick Yorke - Moved to Pittsburgh The Pirates acquired Yorke from the Red Sox on Monday in exchange for right-hander Quinn Priester, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Though Yorke was regarded as one of the Red Sox's top position prospects, he had lost some sheen over the past couple of years while his performance had dipped between stops at High-A Greenville and Double-A Portland. Yorke had gotten off to an underwhelming start to the current season at Portland, but he had started to turn some heads again after getting a promotion in early June to Triple-A Worcester, where he posted a .317/.414/.497 slash line with six home runs and six steals in 169 plate appearances while splitting time between second base and left field. Despite showing improvement with the bat at Triple-A, Yorke's long-term path to playing time in Boston was still somewhat blocked, but he should have a greater opportunity to eventually settle into an everyday role with a Pittsburgh organization that's comparatively lacking in established bats at the big-league level. Look for Yorke to report to Triple-A Indianapolis initially, but it wouldn't be surprising if he receive his first big-league call-up later in 2024.
