Joe is out of the lineup for Sunday's contest against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Joe will get a rest after going 1-for-8 with a homer over the first two games of the series against Baltimore. Josh Palacios is getting the start in right field and will hit seventh.

Joe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Joe slugged a game-tying home run in the seventh inning, his fifth long ball of the season. Like much of the Pittsburgh offense, he's cooled considerably in May, as he has seven hits across 30 at-bats with two RBI and two runs scored while also striking out at a 35.3 percent clip. Despite those struggles, Joe continues to get regular playing time at the corner outfield spots, starting eight of the last 10 games.

Joe isn't starting Friday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

After going 3-for-12 with three extra-base hits during Pittsburgh's last series against Tampa Bay, Joe will take a seat for Friday's series opener. Miguel Andujar will take over in right field and bat sixth.

Joe went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a steal in Tuesday's 4-1 loss against Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Joe is now 5-for-19 with two homers and a 1.100 OPS over his last five games after going hitless in his previous four contests. The 30-year-old Joe has played a major role in Pittsburgh's surprising start, slashing .298/.392/.595 with four homers, 11 RBI, 18 runs scored and two stolen bases through 97 plate appearances. While his .375 BABIP isn't sustainable, Joe's 51.7 percent hard-hit rate paired with an excellent 11.6 percent walk rate gives some long-term merit to his fast start.

Joe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Joe extended Pittsburgh's lead to 5-2 in the sixth inning with a two-run shot off Julio Urias. The homer, Joe's third of the year, snapped a 0-for-14 stretch. The 30-year-old Joe is now slashing .304/.392/.580 with 14 runs scored, 10 RBI and a stolen base through 79 plate appearances.

Joe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Joe went 9-for-23 with five extra-base hits (one home run), four RBI and eight runs while starting the past six games, and he'll receive a day off for Sunday's series finale. Jack Suwinski, Ji Hwan Bae and Canaan Smith-Njigba will start from left to right in the outfield with Bryan Reynolds on the bereavement list.

Joe went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Friday's 4-2 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

He scored the Bucs' first and third runs of the game while reeling off his fifth multi-hit performance in the last nine contests. Joe's hot streak has boosted his batting average to .377 (20-for-53) on the season, and he's also collected two homers, one steal, eight RBI and 13 runs through 16 games.

Joe went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in Thursday's victory over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Joe got the Pirates off to a fast start Thursday, smacking a three-run home run with two outs in the first inning off Luke Weaver. Joe has gotten off to quite a start in Pittsburgh, slashing .340/.421/.640 with two home runs, eight RBI and 11 runs scored through his first 50 at-bats. While it doesn't seem likely that he'll keep producing at this rate, Joe could be worth a look while hitting in the middle of a Pirates' lineup that's been surprisingly potent early in the season.

Joe is batting fifth Thursday against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Joe is making a fourth straight start for the Pirates and has batted either third or fifth in those games, versus both righties and lefties. He's taking advantage of this recent run of regular playing time and boasts an overall .340/.426/.596 slash line in 54 plate appearances on the year.

Joe will start in right field and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Joe has handled a short-side platoon role for much of the season and will be starting against a left-hander (Austin Gomber) on Wednesday for the fourth time in the past week, but he's also drawn starts versus three right-handed pitchers over that stretch while sitting out only once. Though he looks like he may see a smaller share of the starts in the corner-outfield spot opposite Bryan Reynolds while the Pirates have two left-handed options (Canaan Smith-Njigba and Tucupita Marcano) available to handle those duties, Joe's path to playing time nonetheless looks a little clearer in the wake of Ji-Man Choi landing on the injured list with an Achilles strain that will likely keep him on the shelf for around eight weeks. Joe produced two extra-base hits in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Colorado to boost his OPS to .967 for the season.
