Pirates place Ji Hwan Bae (wrist) on injured list Tuesday
The Pittsburgh Pirates placed outfielder Ji Hwan Bae on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a sprained right wrist.
What It Means
The Pirates haven't indicated how much time Bae is expected to miss. They called up Jack Suwinski from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding roster move and also placed Michael Taylor on the paternity list. Suwinski will start in center field and hit ninth in Tuesday's series opener against right-hander Tyler Glasnow and the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday.
numberFire's models project Suwinski for 6.9 FanDuel points on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Pirates have the worst implied total (3.27) in the majors today. Among qualified pitchers this season, Glasnow rates in at least the top 94th percentile in xERA, xBA, and strikeout rate.
