Oliva went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

He also took part in a double play while playing center field. Oliva has started in center almost exclusively throughout the minors. If he gets off to a hot start at Triple-A, then the team could give him a shot in the big leagues this summer. Jarrod Dyson and Jason Martin represent Oliva's main competition for center field, especially with the organization content to leave Bryan Reynolds in left. Given Oliva's strong performance at Double-A and in the Arizona Fall League, he's worth keeping an eye for a major-league debut in 2020. He's hit .275 with 69 stolen bases his last two seasons.

Oliva was invited to the Pirates' big-league camp on Monday, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oliva isn't far from pushing for a major-league roster spot, though he's unlikely to earn one on Opening Day. He likely needs some Triple-A seasoning first, though his .277/.352/.398 line with 36 steals in 123 games for Double-A Altoona last season means he's a good bet to conquer the highest level of the minors at some point this season and earn his big-league debut.
