Triolo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Triolo -- who entered Friday's game 2-for-25 over his last 11 games -- extended the Pirates' lead to two runs in the sixth inning, when he took Bryce Elder deep to left field for a solo long shot. Triolo has been struggling at the plate as of late, but he should continue to see plenty of starts at shortstop due to Isiah Kiner-Falefa (hamstring) being on the 10-day injured list.

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

EDGE Analysis

After making starts at either middle-infield spot in each of the last eight games, Triolo will take a seat for the series finale in St. Louis. Triolo could continue to serve as the Pirates' primary shortstop until Isiah Kiner-Falefa (hamstring) is cleared to return from the injured list, but Liover Peguero gets the nod Wednesday.

Triolo will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Triolo initially served as a utility infielder upon returning from the injured list April 16, but he's been thrust into an everyday role in the middle infield. He'll pick up his sixth consecutive start and his fourth in a row at shortstop, which should be his primary home until Isiah Kiner-Falefa (hamstring) is ready to return from the IL.

The Pirates activated Triolo (back) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Triolo spent the minimum amount of time on the shelf with a lumbar spine strain and was cleared to rejoin the Pirates after going 2-for-3 with a home run and a walk in a rehab game with Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday. With Nick Gonzales (ankle), Spencer Horwitz (wrist) and Endy Rodriguez (finger) still on the IL, Triolo should see plenty of playing time for the Pirates between first and second base. He'll occupy the keystone and will bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Triolo (back) will report to Triple-A Indianapolis to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old infielder, who is recovering from a lumbar spine strain, has been cleared for game action in the minors after he was able to field grounders Monday without issue. Triolo is eligible to return from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, and while he appears unlikely to be activated on that day, he likely won't require much time beyond that before rejoining the Pirates.

The Pirates placed Triolo on the 10-day injured list Monday with a lumbar spine strain, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The team had viewed Triolo as day-to-day, but the injury is apparently now considered significant enough to keep him out at least until mid-April. Triolo has started half of the Pirates' 10 games so far, bouncing around between second base, first base and third base. Tsung-Che Cheng was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis to replace Triolo on the active roster.

The Pirates announced that Triolo was scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Yankees due to low back discomfort.

EDGE Analysis

The Pirates are viewing Triolo as day-to-day, but he could be a candidate to land on the injured list if he fails to make much meaningful progress by the middle of the week. Isiah Kiner-Falefa had been scheduled to receive a day off Sunday but was thrust into the lineup at shortstop as a result of Triolo's late scratch.

Triolo was scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Yankees due to an unspecified issue, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Isiah Kiner-Falefa was a late addition to the lineup in place of Triolo and will start at shortstop and bat ninth. The Pirates will likely provide an explanation behind Triolo's removal from the lineup later Sunday.

Triolo is on the bench for Monday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Though he appeared to have a chance at seeing steady playing time at first base to begin the season while Spencer Horwitz (wrist) is on the shelf, Triolo has started just twice through the Pirates' first five games, with one of those coming at third base. Endy Rodriguez has instead emerged as the preferred option at first base and should handle a near-everyday role while moving between that position and catcher.

Pirates general manager Ben Cherington mentioned Wednesday that Triolo is a candidate to play first base while Spencer Horwitz (thumb) is out, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Horwitz will miss the next 6-to-8 weeks following surgery last week on his right wrist/thumb. Pittsburgh plans to look internally for Horwitz's replacement and Triolo appears to be next in line on the depth chart at first base. The 27-year-old slashed only .216/.296/.315 with nine homers and eight steals over 125 games last season, but he was the National League's Gold Glove winner as a utility player.
