Evans was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Evans' playing time was sporadic recently, and he had started in just five games since the All-Star break. He went 5-for-24 with a double, two runs, an RBI and four walks during that time, but he should see more consistent at-bats in the minors. Outfielder Anthony Alford's contract was selected by the Pirates as part of the transaction.
