Triolo went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Triolo has started six of eight games since Ke'Bryan Hayes was traded, with his primary on-field value coming from his glove. However, he managed a two-RBI single in the first inning to make a rare offensive contribution Thursday. Triolo has gone 6-for-20 with three RBI and five runs scored across his six starts since inheriting the starting role at third base.

Triolo is not in the Pirates' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Triolo started in each of the Pirates' last three games after being promoted from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday and went 2-for-10 with four runs scored and one RBI. He'll be on the bench for Monday's series opener while Isiah Kiner-Falefa starts at the hot corner and Liover Peguero covers shortstop.

Triolo will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Since the Pirates traded Ke'Bryan Hayes to the Reds on Wednesday, Triolo appears to have temporarily settled in as the preferred option at third base. He'll pick up a third straight start after going 1-for-7 with two walks, two runs and one RBI through the first two games of the series in Colorado.

The Pirates recalled Triolo from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Triolo is expected to take over as the primary third baseman in Pittsburgh now that Ke'Bryan Hayes is on the Reds. Triolo has slashed just .158/.253/.266 with 10 RBI and 12 runs scored through 160 plate appearances this season, but his glove should be enough to keep him in the lineup most days.

The Pirates will recall Triolo from Triple-A Indianapolis, and he is expected to serve as their primary third baseman following the trade of Ke'Bryan Hayes on Wednesday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Pirates have an afternoon game in San Francisco on Wednesday and are idle Thursday, so the promotion of Triolo likely won't be official until Friday before a weekend series in Colorado. Triolo has slashed a paltry .158/.253/.266 in 55 contests at the big-league level this season but will offer the Pirates a steady glove at the hot corner.

The Pirates optioned Triolo to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Triolo had been mired in a 2-for-33 (.061) slump at the plate since June 10, and the Pirates will send him to Indianapolis to potentially rediscover his swing. The move opens up a spot on the active roster for reliever Yohan Ramirez.

Triolo is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Triolo was included in the lineup in three of the Pirates' previous four games, but the bulk of his starts are still expected to come against left-handed pitching when Pittsburgh has all of its core infielders available. Most of the 27-year-old's value to the Pirates derives from his ability to play all four infield spots, as he's been an easy out at the plate with a .167/.260/.280 slash line over 152 plate appearances on the season.

Triolo went 2-for-2 with two runs scored during Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Triolo accounted for both Pirates runs and two of their five hits before being lifted for a pinch hitter in the bottom of the ninth. The 27-year-old has recorded multiple hits in his last two games he's appeared in, but is still in a platoon role and doesn't face a right-handed pitcher all too often. He is slashing .170/.248/.287 in 107 plate appearances this season.

Triolo will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Though he'll be included in the lineup Monday with southpaw Nick Lodolo taking the hill for Cincinnati, the right-handed-hitting Triolo no longer looks to be in the mix for regular playing time versus righties. He was on the bench for both of the Pirates' previous two matchups with right-handers, with the recent return of Isiah Kiner-Falefa having closed off Triolo's path to an everyday role in the Pittsburgh infield.

Triolo went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Triolo recorded his first home run of the season Thursday and has at least one hit in five of his last six games. He's scored four runs in that span and has surprisingly tallied four total extra-base hits. Despite the slight uptick in production, Triolo is hitting just .167/.233/.308 across 87 plate appearances.
