Pirates Recall Ji Hwan Bae to Roster on May 9, 2025

Bae's return comes just before the Pirates' home game against the Atlanta Braves. In the current season, he has played 2 games and started 1, but he has yet to record a hit. His spring training performance was stronger, with a .381 average and 1 home run.

This move might influence the lineup, especially for Tommy Pham, who is currently the starting left fielder with a .183 average. Alexander Canario and Adam Frazier are also in the left field depth chart. The Pirates will need to consider these options as they prepare for the Braves game.
