Player Outlook
Connor Joe got his first significant chance in the majors outside of Coors Field and things largely went well, as he maintained a 107 wRC+ and .332 wOBA across 472 plate appearances. His performance wasn't quite as smooth as that number would suggest, as he struggled through the middle part of the campaign after getting off to a hot start. That began to cost him playing time, though the season-ending injury to Andrew McCutchen and departures of both Carlos Santana and Ji-Man Choi gave Joe a reprieve. He took advantage by slashing a respectable .256/.345/.422 across 207 plate appearances in the second half of the season. That gives Joe a credible case to begin the 2024 season a starter in the Pittsburgh lineup, but he's likely to begin the season in a short-side platoon role with Rowdy Tellez at first base while also potentially picking up some plate appearances at DH and the outfield.

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: Tallies two more RBI

    Joe went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Monday's win over the Tigers. Joe opened the Pirates scoring with an RBI infield single in the second inning. He added his second RBI in the fifth inning on a double to left field. The 31-year-old outfielder continues his scorching start to the season, slashing .324/.444/.541 with five doubles, one homer and nine RBI. Joe may also be rounding into a full-time player as he has started against three straight right-handed pitchers.

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: Launches long ball in victory

    Joe went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run and two walks in Thursday's 7-4 win over Washington. Joe didn't play Wednesday with the Nationals starting a right-hander, but he was back in the lineup one day later despite Pittsburgh facing another righty (Josiah Gray). That decision paid dividends for the Pirates when Joe launched a two-run homer in the fifth inning to give the team a 7-1 advantage. Joe also drew two free passes in the contest and has more walks (five) than strikeouts (four) this season. He's had a strong start to the campaign, slashing .346/.469/.615 with five extra-base hits, nine runs and seven RBI through 32 plate appearances.

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: Key role against lefties

    Joe went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Friday against the Marlins. Joe has hit leadoff in each of the Pirates' first two games with lefties on the mound. His first start came in right field, while Friday's came at first base. While Joe looks to be stuck on the short side of a platoon, he is locked into a valuable role when in the lineup.

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: Batting leadoff Thursday

    Joe is starting in right field and batting leadoff for Thursday's opener against the Marlins. With southpaw Jesus Luzardo on the bump, Joe not only gets the call in right field over Jack Suwinski but is also perched atop the batting order. The setup makes him a sneaky DFS play Thursday.

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: Avoids arbitration with Pirates

    The Pirates and Joe avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.125 million contract Thursday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. It's a nice salary bump for Joe, who was eligible for arbitration for the first time. The 31-year-old put up a .760 OPS with 11 homers over 133 games for Pittsburgh last season. He should see semi-regular duty again in 2024.

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: Clubs homer in win

    Joe went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 13-7 win over the Cubs. Joe opened September with just five hits across 13 games before breaking out of the slump Wednesday. This was his first multi-hit effort since Aug. 24. The 31-year-old is up to 11 homers, 40 RBI, 58 runs scored and 28 doubles through 125 contests this season, all of which are season highs. He's also logged three stolen bases with a .236/.330/.416 slash line across 440 plate appearances.

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: Heads to bench Sunday

    Joe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Joe has gone just 3-for-36 over his past 10 games and will take a seat Sunday for the third time in Pittsburgh's last four contests. Alfonso Rivas will start at first base and bat eighth in the series finale.

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: Absent from lineup

    Joe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Brewers, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Joe has been the Pirates' regular first baseman of late but will begin this one on the bench. Alfonso Rivas will get the start at first base and bat seventh.

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: Omitted from lineup

    Joe is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Joe started the last nine games for the Pirates, but after going hitless in Sunday's loss to the Cubs he will head to the bench. Joe has been splitting his work between first base and right field, and Alfonso Rivas and Josh Palacios, respectively, will cover those positions Monday.

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: Three doubles, four runs in rout

    Joe went 3-for-4 with three doubles, an RBI and four runs scored in Monday's 11-1 win over the Cardinals. Joe provided a jolt of offense Monday, ripping doubles in the fourth, sixth and eighth innings while crossing the plate four times. The 31-year-old is now slashing .263/.364/.474 with seven doubles, three homers, five RBI and 15 runs scored across 76 second-half plate appearances.

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: Hitting streak reaches five games

    Joe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Brewers. Joe hit one of three home runs on the day for the Pirates, with his being a solo shot to left field to begin the fourth. Joe has just two home runs since the beginning of June but has now hit safely in five straight games while picking up an extra-base hit two days in a row. Joe remains in a short-side platoon role at first base with Alfonso Rivas while occasionally picking up starts at DH like he did Sunday.

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: Gets third straight start

    Joe will start at first base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Joe has now picked up three consecutive starts at first base, serving as the Pirates' leadoff man in two of those contests when Pittsburgh has opposed left-handed starting pitchers. With Carlos Santana and Ji-Man Choi having recently been traded away, Joe has a clearer path to playing time at first base, but it's unclear if he'll get a look in a near-everyday role or if he'll have to settle for the short side of a platoon at the position with the lefty-hitting Alfonso Rivas, whom the Pirates acquired from the Padres on Tuesday.

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: Stuck in short-side platoon

    Joe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Guardians. Joe has slipped into a short-side platoon role since the start of July, as he's started only three of 14 games. That's due in part to the promotion of Henry Davis, but Joe has also slumped considerably. Tuesday's homer was his first since May 30, and since June 3 he has hit only .218 with a 28.6 percent strikeout rate across 87 at-bats.

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: On bench again Sunday

    Joe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Miami, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports. Joe finds himself on the bench Sunday after he started Pittsburgh's previous six games. Josh Palacios, Jack Suwinski and Henry Davis will start from left to right in the outfield.

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: Sitting Saturday

    Joe isn't in the Pirates' lineup Saturday versus Miami. Joe is currently in the midst of a four-game hitting streak, slashing .385/.467/.462 in that span. He'll catch a breather Saturday, opening up a spot for Josh Palacios to start in left field and bat in the leadoff spot.

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: On bench again Friday

    Joe is out of the lineup again Friday against the Brewers. Josh Palacios will make a second straight start in right field with the Pirates facing another right-hander in Julio Teheran. Joe has posted strong overall numbers this year, but he's faring far better against lefties (1.057 OPS) than righties (.663 OPS).

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: Sitting against righty

    Joe is not in the lineup Thursday against the Cubs. Josh Palacios will cover right field and bat seventh versus the Cubs and right-hander Marcus Stroman. Joe has posted a .674 OPS in 134 plate appearances this year versus righties, compared to a robust 1.030 OPS in his 79 plate appearances against lefties.

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: Gaining playing time versus RHPs

    Joe will start in right field and bat third in Sunday's game against the Mets. Joe will make his second straight start versus a right-handed starting pitcher (Carlos Carrasco) and may be moving out of a short-side platoon role and into something resembling a quasi-everyday role. The Pirates' decision to include Joe in the lineup for the second straight game has been most detrimental to infielder Rodolfo Castro, who has been the odd man out while Ji Hwan Bae has moved from center field to second base.

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: Takes seat Sunday

    Joe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports. Joe has gone 6-for-16 with a home run, three doubles and a stolen base over his last four games, but it's unclear if he'll be able to avoid a short-side platoon role now that Carlos Santana is healthy again and settling back into everyday duties at first base. With Santana back in the fold, Joe will be vying for playing time in the corner outfield with Josh Palacios, who draws the start Sunday versus Cardinals right-hander Miles Mikolas. Joe has now sat out in two straight matchups against righties.

  • Pirates' Connor Joe: Day off Friday

    Joe is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Cardinals, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports. Joe will get a day off after he went 5-for-12 with a homer, two doubles, two RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base over a three-game series with the Giants. Josh Palacios will take over in right field and bat eighth in the series opener with St. Louis.
