Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said Monday that Jose Tabata (quad) will play some right field during his minor league rehab stint with Triple-A Indianapolis.
In fact, the 22-year-old is scheduled to play his first game in right field on Tuesday night. This is an indication that the Pirates could eventually go with Tabata in right field and Alex Presley in left. Tabata has never played right field in the major leagues, but has extensive experience there in the minors.
