Yorke isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Yorke will catch a breather Saturday after going 2-for-4 and scoring a run during Friday's victory. Spencer Horwitz will shift to second base while Yorke is on the bench, opening up first base for Rafael Flores.

Yorke went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Yorke has started eight of Pittsburgh's last nine games, taking over as the team's primary second baseman. He's made good use of that opportunity, hitting .250 with four RBI and four runs scored. He's also currently riding a five-game hitting streak. Yorke is likely auditioning for a roster spot to begin the 2026 campaign.

Yorke went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Yorke got the Pirates on the board with his first home run since making his season debut Sept. 2. The 23-year-old also notched his first multi-hit game Saturday and has now hit safely in three straight contests. For the year, he's gone 10-for-46 with three extra-base hits, six RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base across 48 major-league plate appearances.

Yorke will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Yorke will stick in the lineup for the fifth straight contest and for the seventh time in eight games. He's yet to take advantage of receiving ample playing time in September, as he's slashing just .167/.189/.222 with no home runs, one stolen base, five RBI and one run in 37 plate appearances since being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis at the start of the month.

Yorke went 1-for-3 with two RBI and a double Thursday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Yorke made his second start since being promoted to the majors at the start of September, both of which have come against lefties. He was lifted in the eighth inning for defensive purposes, but Yorke delivered a key double that knocked in two in the fifth frame prior to his departure. Yorke looks to be on the small side of a platoon for the time being, but he could force his way into more at-bats if he continues to hit.

Yorke went 1-for-2 on Tuesday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Yorke was called up to the majors when rosters expanded and made his first appearance of 2025. He started at first base and hit seventh with lefty Clayton Kershaw on the mound and tallied his first hit in the opening frame. Yorke could settle into a short-side platoon with Spencer Horwitz at first base.

The Pirates recalled Yorke from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Yorke was a regular in the Pittsburgh lineup for the second half of September last season, but after failing to win a spot on the Opening Day roster coming out of spring training, he's spent the entire 2025 campaign to date at Indianapolis. The 23-year-old has been serviceable as an everyday player for Indianapolis with a .287/.348/.406 slash line, seven home runs and 17 steals over 440 plate appearances, but he didn't dominate enough at any point to earn a call-up to Pittsburgh until the active roster expanded to 28 men Monday. Yorke will likely stick with the Pirates throughout the final month of the season, but he could end up filling a utility role and may not be in line for steady playing time.

Yorke (shoulder) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list with Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Yorke was placed on the injured list April 6 due to right shoulder soreness, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to return on a minimum stint on the IL. In the four games prior to his injury, Yorke went 5-for-15 with two walks, three doubles and one RBI.

Triple-A Indianapolis placed Yorke on its 7-day injured list Friday due to right shoulder soreness, Dan Zagrilli of 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Pirates general manager Ben Cherington, the sore shoulder has been an issue for Yorke since late in spring training, and the organization wasn't keen on having him continuing playing while he was compromised. The shoulder issue had yet to cause a decline in his production early on in the season at Indianapolis, as Yorke went 5-for-15 with three doubles, two walks, two runs and one RBI through four games. Cherington anticipates Yorke being in line for a brief stay on the shelf.

Yorke was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Yorke looked to have a good chance to crack the Opening Day roster, particularly with Spencer Horwitz (wrist) sidelined. However, he collected only seven hits -- two of which went for extra bases -- across 34 at-bats in Grapefruit League action and will begin the season in the minors. Yorke should be in consideration for a promotion in the case of an injury or poor performance to a regular in Pittsburgh's lineup, so there's still a chance he can make an impact this season.
