Stokes was claimed off waivers by the Pirates on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Stokes was claimed off waivers by the Tigers last offseason but missed the entire 2020 season due to hand surgery. He produced an above-average batting line at every stop until he reached Triple-A San Antonio in the Brewers' system in 2019, hitting a modest .233/.341/.385 in 95 games. He seemingly still has some development left to do, though he's wound up on a roster where playing time isn't hard to come by.
