Joe is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

After starting three straight -- two versus lefties -- Joe will begin this one on the bench as the Mets throw right-hander Tylor Megill. Josh Palacios will be in right field.

Joe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joe has gone 6-for-16 with a home run, three doubles and a stolen base over his last four games, but it's unclear if he'll be able to avoid a short-side platoon role now that Carlos Santana is healthy again and settling back into everyday duties at first base. With Santana back in the fold, Joe will be vying for playing time in the corner outfield with Josh Palacios, who draws the start Sunday versus Cardinals right-hander Miles Mikolas. Joe has now sat out in two straight matchups against righties.

Joe is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Cardinals, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joe will get a day off after he went 5-for-12 with a homer, two doubles, two RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base over the three-game series with the Giants. Josh Palacios will take over in right field and bat eighth in the series opener with St. Louis.

Joe went 3-for-4 with an RBI double, two runs scored and one steal in Wednesday's 9-4 victory over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Joe recorded his first game with at least three hits since April 21 and his fourth of the season. The outfielder had one extra-base hit in each matchup of the three-game series versus San Francisco and showed off his versatility by stealing his third bag of the season in the finale. He's slashing .255/.346/.484 across his first 48 games with Pittsburgh and has shown improvements in the power department in 2023 after slugging just .359 over 111 appearances for the Rockies last season. Joe appeared to be falling into a platoon role in mid-May, but he started the final six games of the month with Carlos Santana (back) unavailable.

Joe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Joe's first-inning blast off John Brebbia was the Pirates' lone extra-base hit of the contest. This was Joe's 10th straight game without a multi-hit effort -- he's gone 5-for-33 (.152) with a 3:9 BB:K in that span. He's filled in at first base for Carlos Santana (back) in the last two games, but Joe's lack of consistent hitting could ultimately see him drop back into a short-side platoon role as he did earlier in the month. The 30-year-old is slashing .242/.333/.471 with six homers, 16 RBI, 26 runs scored and two stolen bases through 47 contests, though his season numbers were fueled by a strong start to the campaign.

Joe will start in left field and bat third in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Joe appeared to be slipping into a short-side platoon role last weekend, but he's now found himself in the lineup for four consecutive games, with two of those starts coming versus right-handed pitching. He's still hitting just .200 and has struck out 30.9 percent of the time in May, so Joe likely doesn't have a long leash atop the depth chart in a corner-outfield spot.

Joe is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Josh Palacios will play right field and bat seventh versus the Rangers and tough right-hander Nathan Eovaldi. Joe got off to a roaring start this year but has slashed .191/.277/.286 over his last 47 plate appearances.

Joe will sit Saturday against Arizona, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joe has hit .264/.355/.521 in 38 games overall, but he's hit just .182/.240/.303 over his last 12 contests. That's seen him head to the bench much more frequently, as he's now sitting for the fourth time in five games. Josh Palacios will again get the start in right field.

Joe is not in the lineup Friday against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Bryan Reynolds, Jack Suwinski and Josh Palacios will start across the outfield with ace right-hander Zac Gallen on the mound for Arizona. Joe has fared far better versus lefties than righties this year with the Pirates.

Joe is not in the lineup Tuesday night against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Bryan Reynolds, Jack Suwinski and Josh Palacios are starting across the Pirates' outfield. Andrew McCutchen is filling the DH role. Joe had a terrific April but is just 4-for-27 (.148) over his last 10 games.
