Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Jack Suwinski has joined the team at PNC Park ahead of their home series against the Chicago Cubs, according to Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. It appears that he is coming off of the injured list and that Ji Hwan Bae is being optioned back to Triple-A Indianapolis.
The Pirates placed Suwinski on the 10-day injured list at the end of August with a right groin strain. He began a rehab stint at Triple-A Indianapolis on Sept. 11. In three rehab appearances, he went 3-for-9 with a pair of homers and three walks.
