The Pittsburgh Pirates activated third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes from the 10-day Injured List prior to Thursday night’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. To make room on the 26-man roster, right-handed pitcher Roansy Contreras has been optioned to Indianapolis.
Hayes was placed on the IL on June 28th, but he was eligible to come off yesterday due to the move being made retroactive to June 25th. He was out due to back soreness.
Hayes is hitting .254/.290/.397 through 74 games this year. He’s been worth 1.4 WAR this season, with 1.2 dWAR to his credit.
