PITTSBURGH -- Chris Stewart walked into the Pirates clubhouse Monday afternoon with an elastic bandage wrapped around his left knee, the end result of, of all things, an ankle injury.
Stewart has been sidelined since Saturday by a stiff left knee that came about as he tried to play through a sore left ankle. Stewart's ankle forced him out of a game June 11, and he had a rough Tuesday night in New York, where he was swatted in the jaw on a backswing and hit in the left hip by a pitch.
When Stewart woke up Wednesday morning, his ankle didn't bother him.
