The Pirates will likely activate Jose Tabata (quad) from the disabled list Monday.
Tabata has been sidelined since the end of June with a strained left quadriceps muscle. The 23-year-old has experienced some stops and starts during his rehab, but is batting .333 (7-for-21) with one homer and four doubles over six games with Triple-A Indianapolis. The Pirates have discussed using him in right field upon his return.
