Evans has joined the Pirates' taxi squad in Chicago and is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis either Tuesday or Wednesday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Along with Evans, another utility player in Hoy Park has reported to Chicago ahead of the six-game set in the Windy City with the White Sox and Cubs. Whether Evans or Park is formally added to the roster Tuesday will likely hinge on the statuses of Michael Chavis (elbow) and Ke'Bryan Hayes (hand), who are currently being labeled as day-to-day but may require stints on the injured list. If neither Chavis nor Hayes is deactivated Tuesday, the Pirates would have the ability to activate both Evans and Park to the roster Wednesday without making a corresponding move. All MLB active rosters will expand from 26 to 28 men Wednesday for the final month of the regular season.
