Nick Yorke Recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis
Nick Yorke was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday. The Pirates' 11th-ranked prospect has hit well for most of the season, slashing .287/.348/.406 with seven home runs and 17 steals in 103 games, but has been hotter as of late, going 24-for-66 (.364) over his last 16 games. The 23-year-old got a brief taste of the majors last season, going 8-for-37 (.216) with a pair of home runs and two steals in 11 games last September. With a nice blend of power and speed, the right-handed slugger has some intrigue for fantasy, but he'll need to get regular at-bats, and for now, it looks like he'll be coming off the bench or getting only spot starts.
