Pirates Option Yorke to Triple-A, Triolo Returns

0:00On May 3rd, the Pittsburgh Pirates just optioned Infielder Nick York to triple A Indianapolis on May 2nd to clear space for Jair Trialo, who's back from the injured list after his rehab. York cracked the opening day roster and stuck around for 23 games, but is bad cooled off big time after a hot start against the Cubs, where he hit 3079. Now with Trio Lo Healthy, the Infield stacked, Nick Gonzalez has been on fire at 3rd base, batting 333 and leading the team, so York's at bats dried up anyway. Manager Derek Shelton called it a tough call, but smart, saying York did solid work up top and needs everyday reps down below to sharpen up his swing, and versatility across infield spots and right field. This emotion sets York up to rig daily in the minors, priming him for that next big league shot when injuries or trades open the door. Baseball news, powered by AI, this is MLB News Today.
