Evans is batting leadoff against the Brewers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Evans, who has started only 14 games since June 18, is slashing .208/.364/.283 with one homer in his last 66 plate appearances. He's hitless with three walks in three career at-bats against Monday starter Eric Lauer. After some early-season success, Evans has struggled to find a role on the rebuilding Pirates. It wouldn't be surprising to see him move on from the organization over the winter.

Evans remains on the bench for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Evans looked like he might have been a candidate to capture an everyday role in either the corner outfield or first base when he was reinstated from the injured list Friday, but he's started in only one of the Pirates' six games since his return. John Nogowski appears secure as the Pirates' first baseman for now, while Ben Gamel and Gregory Polanco are locked in as the primary starters in the corner outfield. Most of Evans' opportunities will likely come against left-handed pitching for the time being.

Evans (concussion) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Evans suffered a concussion July 5 when he collided with an opponent, but he resumed baseball activities during the All-Star break and will now be available to return to game action. The 28-year-old isn't starting Friday against the Mets but could compete with John Nogowski for playing time at first base going forward.

Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said Sunday that Evans (concussion) has "initiated baseball activity" in Pittsburgh, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans' ability to resume some activity suggests he's made progress since being diagnosed with a concussion after collision with an opponent Monday. The 28-year-old is expected to gradually ramp up over the All-Star break, and he could be ready to return from the 7-day injured list when the Pirates kick off their second-half schedule Friday against the Mets.

Evans (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list Tuesday, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evans sustained a head injury while sliding into third base in Monday's win over Atlanta, and he'll be sidelined through the All-Star break after a concussion was confirmed Tuesday. It's not yet clear when the 27-year-old will be able to return, but the first date that he'll be eligible will be July 16. Rodolfo Castro was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis as part of a corresponding move, and he should help fill a depth role while Evans is unavailable.

Evans was removed from Monday's win against Atlanta and is in the concussion protocol, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old apparently suffered the injury while sliding into third base during the third inning when he collided with an infielder, though he wasn't actually removed from the contest until the eighth inning. Evans went 1-for-4 with an RBI before leaving the game. He'll be placed on the 7-day injured list if a concussion is confirmed.

Evans is out of the lineup Thursday versus Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Evans started the past three games and will take a seat after going 0-for-13 with five strikeouts in his past four contests. The 28-year-old is expected to see more time at first base going forward with Colin Moran out with a fractured wrist, but Erik Gonzalez will receive the nod Thursday.

Evans went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's 5-4 win against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

He was generously awarded a single on a liner that right fielder Lars Nootbaar initially caught but then dropped. Regardless, Evans has hit the ball hard and driven in runs in both of his last two games. Since coming off the IL in early June, he's slashing .229/.260/.313 in 50 plate appearances.

Evans went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Thursday's 8-2 triumph over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Evans pinch hit for reliever Chris Stratton in the eighth and took Wade LeBlanc deep to left for Pittsburgh's seventh run of the game. The homer was his first in over two months as Evans has notably cooled after a torrid start with a current .216/.306/.320 slash line.

Evans is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

After going 3-for-8 with a run scored in the Pirates' past two games while picking up one start apiece at the two corner-outfield spots, Evans will take a seat for the day game after a night game. The Pirates will start Gregory Polanco and Ben Gamel in right and left field, respectively.
