EDGE Analysis

Delay hit his first major-league home run during Friday's loss to Miami but will retreat to the bench a day later. Tyler Heineman is starting behind the plate and batting ninth.

Delay went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Friday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Delay took Braxton Garrett yard in the third inning to tally his first career home run. Since being recalled July 5, Delay has started nine of 15 games behind the plate -- though only one has come with a righty on the mound. He's hit well in that small sample, chipping in three doubles, four RBI and four runs scored across 36 plate appearances.

Delay will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Delay will be making his second start since Tyler Heineman (personal) was reinstated Friday, from the family medical emergency list, with one of his starts coming against a right-hander (German Marquez) and the other coming versus a lefty (Austin Gomber). Since Delay hitting .320 with three doubles, three RBI and two runs scored in 10 games following his call-up from Triple-A Indianapolis earlier this month, the Pirates could be inclined to give him a look as their primary backstop while he's swinging a hot bat.

Delay will start at catcher and bat ninth in Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Delay will be rewarded with his third start in a row behind the plate after he went 4-for-8 with a pair of doubles and a run scored between the previous two contests. All three of the righty-hitting Delay's starts have come against left-handed pitchers, so it's too early to conclude that he's usurped the lefty-hitting Michael Perez as the Pirates' preferred catcher.

The Pirates activated Delay from the taxi squad Tuesday.
