Moved off 40-man rosterThe Pirates designated Bashlor for assignment Sunday.
ImpactThe transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for utility man Wilmer Difo, whose contract was selected from the taxi squad in a corresponding move.

Pirates place 3B Hayes on IL with left wrist strain
The Pittsburgh Pirates have placed third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes on the 10-day injured list with a strained left wristAPRIL 4, 2021•ASSOCIATED PRESS
Called up from taxi squadThe Pirates selected Difo's contract from the taxi squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Cubs, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.
ImpactPittsburgh will be bringing Difo aboard to provide depth in the infield after top third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (wrist) was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday. Phillip Evans is starting at third base Sunday and will likely serve as the main replacement for Hayes, so Difo likely won't be in store for much work for the duration of his stint on the 26-man roster.

Shifts to ILThe Pirates placed Hayes (wrist) on the 10-day injured list prior to Sunday's game against the Cubs, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.
ImpactHayes was initially labeled as day-to-day after injuring his left wrist during an at-bat in Saturday's loss, but because the inflammation he experienced was making it difficult for him to squeeze his glove, the Pirates elected to shut him down temporarily. The Pirates recalled Wilmer Difo from the taxi squad to add depth at third base in the short term, but Phillip Evans will likely serve as the primary starter at the position while Hayes is on the mend. Pittsburgh seems hopeful that Hayes will be in store for a minimum-length stay on the IL.

Considered day-to-dayHayes is considered day-to-day after an MRI showed inflammation in his left wrist, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.
ImpactX-rays were negative after Hayes left Saturday's game, but with the MRI showing some inflammation, the Pirates will sit him down for the finale in Chicago. Pittsburgh travels to Cincinnati next, and it's uncertain whether Hayes will be ready for the start of that series, which gets underway Monday.
