Nogowski went 0-for-3 with a walk in Friday's 6-4 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

After an 18-for-37 start with Pittsburgh, the 28-year-old has two hits in his last 12 at-bats. He could see playing time in the outfield when first baseman Colin Moran (wrist) returns, but he'll have to continue hitting. With no track record in the major leagues, Nogowski's numbers over the next week will have a big influence on his opportunity when Moran comes back.

Nogowski went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Tuesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Nogowski enjoyed a memorable moment in the fifth inning when he went deep to left field with a runner on base for his first major-league home run. The long ball came in his 32nd big-league game and in his 69th career at-bat. Since July 5, Nogowski is slashing .438/.491/.583 with 10 RBI and five extra-base hits across 12 games.

Nogowski went 1-for-5 with a two-run double in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

He's started 10 consecutive games at first base for the Bucs, going 19-for-42 with four doubles and eight RBI. Starting first baseman Colin Moran (wrist) still has no return date, giving the 28-year-old additional opportunity at first base. In fact, with Erik Gonzalez (side) also sidelined, Phillip Evans is the only other healthy option at first. Nogowski's small sample size signals regression at some point, but in the meantime fantasy managers continue to enjoy production from an unexpected source.

Nogowski went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Nogowski collected a double and two more singles in his five trips to the plate and has now gone an incredible 18-for-37 (.486) since being acquired from the Cardinals. He's yet to hit a homer during that stretch -- he's never been a big power producer at any stop in his career -- but he has stroked three doubles since debuting with the Pirates. The 28-year-old Nogowski hit .281 with a .370 on-base percentage across parts of seven minor-league seasons and should continue to see plenty of playing time with the Pirates.

Nogowski went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and an RBI in Friday's 13-4 loss to the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

In four games since he was called up Monday, Nogowski has gone 10-for-16 with two RBI and three runs scored. It's a highly unsustainable stretch, but the 28-year-old's solid hitting has helped Pittsburgh manage the absences of Colin Moran (wrist), Phillip Evans (concussion) and Erik Gonzalez (side) in the last week. Nogowski should see consistent time at first base in the near term, and he could also see time in the outfield.

Nogowski went 4-for-5 in Wednesday's 14-3 loss to the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

The newly-acquired first baseman is now 7-for-12 since debuting in Pittsburgh, with all seven hits being singles. Three games is a small sample size, but the early results are promising for Nogowski, who had just one hit in 18 at-bats with the Cardinals this year. The 28-year-old hit fifth Wednesday, a spot in the lineup that could present plenty of RBI opportunities with the likes of Adam Frazier, KeBryan Hayes and Bryan Reynolds hitting in front of him. Nogowski also pitched a scoreless inning in the blowout loss.

Nogowski went 2-for-4 with an RBI and three runs scored in Monday's 11-1 win over the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

The opportunity for playing time is there for the 28-year-old with both Colin Moran and Erik Gonzalez sidelined due to injuries. Nogowski struggled in his short stint with St. Louis, going 2-for-22, but the Pirates will give him a chance to show his minor-league performance hasn't been a fluke. In his last full season, he slashed .295/.413/.476 with 15 homers and a 69:54 BB:K for Triple-A Memphis in 2019. His versatility -- he played both first base and right field Monday -- is also something that manager Derek Shelton values highly.

Nogowski was activated by the Pirates on Monday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nogowski was dealt to the Pirates on Saturday after he was designated for assignment by the Cardinals last week, and he should provide depth at first base while Colin Moran (wrist) and Erik Gonzalez (side) are sidelined. The 28-year-old appeared in 19 games with St. Louis to begin the year, and he hit .056 with two runs.

Nogowski was traded from the Cardinals to the Pirates on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations.

EDGE Analysis

Nogowski was designated for assignment by St. Louis on Monday, but he'll find another spot on a 40-man roster within the division. The 28-year-old hit .056 with two runs and a walk across 19 major-league games to begin the season and should report to Triple-A Indianapolis going forward.

Nogowski was designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Nogowski was sent down by St. Louis on June 10, and he hit just .105 with a double, five runs, three RBI, two stolen bases and 12 strikeouts since returning to the minors. He'll now be cast off the 40-man roster but could remain in the organization if he goes unclaimed on waivers.
