Evans isn't starting Saturday's game against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Evans is 1-for-12 with a double, two RBI, a run and two walks across his last four appearances, and he'll be out of the lineup for a second straight game. Ben Gamel will start in left field and bat sixth.

Evans will sit Friday against Cleveland, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans hits the bench after starting six of the last seven games. The last two of those came at first base, but Colin Moran will reclaim that position now that he's over his back troubles.

Evans is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Evans will sit for the second time in six games since he returned from the injured list Tuesday. He started at a different position in each of his last four games, but Evans' main path to playing time will likely come in left field moving forward. Ben Gamel will check into the lineup for Evans in the series finale in Milwaukee.

Evans is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
In his return from the injured list in Tuesday's 5-3 loss, Evans started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a run. Ka'ai Tom will pick up a start at the position Wednesday, but his mediocre .559 OPS could be enough to make Evans the preferred option in most games.

Evans went 1-for-4 with a run scored in a 5-3 loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
He started in left field in his first game back from the injured list and later moved to right field. Evans, whose sole hit was an opposite-field single off Joe Kelly, batted seventh in his first action since May 12. With third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes and first baseman Colin Moran both healthy, Evans will likely see most of his playing time in left field and as a utility player. The 28-year-old was in a 7-for-53 funk before getting hurt, so it will be interesting to see whether he can find his stroke after a month-long layoff.

Evans (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.comreports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans has been sidelined since suffering a left hamstring strain in mid-May. He began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis June 1 and is now set to rejoin the Pirates. He figures to continue serving as a reserve utility man going forward.

The Pirates plan to re-evaluate Evans (hamstring) on Monday before determining whether he's ready to return from the injured list ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the Dodgers, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Evans and Colin Moran (groin) both began rehab assignments at Triple-A Indianapolis on June 1, Moran was activated Sunday, whereas Evans remained on the IL. According to general manager Ben Cherington, Evans stayed on the rehab assignment largely because the Pirates wanted to see how he looked at multiple positions, given that he'll likely fill a utility role once reinstated. Whenever he returns, Evans would likely present the biggest threat to Ka'ai Tom and Ben Gamel, both of whom have struggled to produce while sharing duties in left field in recent weeks.

Evans (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans was placed on the 10-day injured list May 13 with the hamstring issue. He resumed running May 20 and is now set to test his hamstring in live game action. If all goes well during his rehab assignment, a return to the Pirates by the end of the week does not seem out of the question.

General manager Ben Cherington announced Sunday that Evans (hamstring) will be going on a rehab assignment in the coming days, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cherington highlighted Monday as a possible start date to both Evans and Colin Moran's (groin) rehab stints. It's unclear just how long Evans will need to take before he rejoins Pittsburgh, but a return by the end of the week does not seem out of the question.

Evans (hamstring), who is eligible to return May 23 from the injured list, has participated in some full-speed running drills, DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
It sounds as though he could return to action sometime within the next week. Evans hasn't played since injuring his hamstring May 12. He figures to see steady playing time when he returns, given the team's offensive struggles, though he had only 11 hits in his last 79 at-bats.
