Bae will start in center field and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

He'll man center field for the second game in a row, with both of his starts coming against right-handed pitching. Bae looks set to occupy the strong side of a platoon in center field with the righty-hitting Michael Taylor after fellow the Pirates optioned fellow left-handed-hitting outfielder Jack Suwinski to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

Bae went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Bae got a second consecutive start since being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday and swiped his third bag of the season after getting walked in the fifth. He likely won't be up with the big club for much longer with Bryan Reynolds (back) set to return from the bereavement list any day now. Bae now has six base hits, three RBI, six runs, three steals and a 3:9 BB:K in 34 plate appearances with the Pirates this year.

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

EDGE Analysis

With Bryan Reynolds (back) getting placed on the bereavement list Thursday, Bae will supply some temporary depth in the outfield. He played center field in all six of his starts with the Pirates this season but could mix in at the corner outfield positions or second base as well. Bae is slashing .355/.434/.497 in 48 games for Indianapolis.

The Pirates activated Bae (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bae has recovered from the sprained right wrist that sent him to the IL earlier this month, but the Pirates have elected to keep him at Indianapolis, where he had been on a rehab assignment. He's gone 5-for-24 at the plate this season for the Pirates and has missed time with hip and wrist problems. Pittsburgh will proceed with a platoon of Jack Suwinski and Michael Taylor in center field.

Bae (wrist) will join Triple-A Indianapolis to begin a rehab assignment Thursday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The outfielder has been sidelined since early June with a sprained right wrist. Given his short absence, Bae shouldn't need extensive time in the minors to get ramped up before being activated. While Bae has been sidelined, the Pirates have been leaning on a combination of Jack Suwinski and Michael Taylor in center field.

Bae (wrist) participated in live batting practice Monday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bae has also resumed defensive work. Manager Derek Shelton indicated that Bae is close to beginning a rehab assignment, meaning he should be activated from the injured list prior to the end of June, barring any setbacks.

Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Friday that Bae (wrist) won't grip a bat for 10 to 14 days, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bae landed on the injured list Tuesday with a right wrist sprain and won't be ready to return after the minimum 10 days. His ongoing absence should allow Jack Suwinski to hold down the strong side of a platoon in center field for the foreseeable future.

Bae was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a sprained right wrist, Alex Stumpf of MLB.comreports.

EDGE Analysis

Bae presumably suffered the injury during Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, during which he went 1-for-5 with a strikeout. It's unclear how long the 24-year-old will be sidelined, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the active roster June 13. Jack Suwinski was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move and should see regular playing time going forward, especially since outfielder Michael Taylor was also placed on the paternity list Tuesday.

Bae isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Left-hander Yusei Kikuchi will toe the slab Saturday for the Jays, meaning the lefty-hitting Bae will retreat to the bench. Michael Taylor will fill the open spot in center field while batting ninth.

Bae is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Bae will give way to the right-handed-hitting Michael Taylor in center field while the Tigers send southpaw Tarik Skubal to the bump for the first game of the day. Bae should be back in the starting nine for the second game, when right-hander Keider Montero will start for Detroit.
