  • Pirates' Nick Yorke: Reinstated off IL

    Yorke (shoulder) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list with Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports. Yorke was placed on the injured list April 6 due to right shoulder soreness, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to return after the minimum. In the four games prior to his injury, Yorke went 5-for-15 with two walks, three doubles and one RBI.

  • Pirates' Nick Yorke: Shelved at Triple-A

    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. 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.

  • Pirates' Nick Yorke: Doesn't crack Opening Day roster

    Yorke was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports. 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 for a regular in Pittsburgh's lineup, so there's still a chance he can make an impact this season.

  • Pirates' Nick Yorke: Chance to break camp with team

    Yorke remains in the mix for a roster spot to begin the regular season, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Yorke has gotten a lot of run this spring and collected seven hits across 30 Grapefruit League at-bats. He has only two extra-base hits with 10 strikeouts, but he has also drawn six walks. With Spencer Horwitz (wrist) likely to begin the regular season on the injured list, one of Yorke, Billy Cook or DJ Stewart is likely to break camp with the team and earn at least some playing time at first base.

  • Pirates' Nick Yorke: Uncertain role

    Yorke has been working out at second base to begin spring training, but he could be an option to fill in at first base in the absence of Spencer Horwitz (wrist), Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Yorke has put up excellent numbers at most of his minor-league stops, but he has an uncertain defensive home. Nick Gonzales is the favorite to start at second base, while the addition of Tommy Pham likely shuts the door on Yorke's potential to play regularly in the outfield. However, Horwitz's injury opens up potential playing time at first base, though there are several other options at the position.

  • Pirates' Nick Yorke: Defensive concerns in outfield

    Yorke will have to prove he can handle right field defensively to earn the starting role to begin the regular season, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports. The Pirates have an unresolved playing time situation in right field with Billy Cook and Joshua Palacios the other two primary options in addition to Yorke. Yorke could have the best bat after posting a 127 wRC+ at Triple-A last season, though he's played only four games in right field and 41 total in the outfield during his time as a pro. He's certainly in contention for regular at-bats in right field, but his ability with the glove will be key to monitor during spring training.

  • Pirates' Nick Yorke: Pops second career homer

    Yorke went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Yankees. Yorke has started 10 of 12 games since making his big-league debut, and he popped his second career home run Saturday. Yorke also has two steals, though his 28.9 percent strikeout rate is a concern. He should be in consideration for a roster spot to begin the 2025 campaign.

  • Pirates' Nick Yorke: Receiving Thursday off

    Yorke is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers. He will give up his spot in the Pittsburgh infield to Liover Peguero, who draws a second straight start at shortstop while Nick Gonzales serves as the Pirates' second baseman. Yorke had been included in the lineup in eight of the last nine games while picking up starts at second base, third base, right field and left field and batting .259 with a home run and two stolen bases.

  • Pirates' Nick Yorke: Solidifying spot in everyday lineup

    Yorke will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Brewers. After making each of his last three starts at second base, Yorke will shift to the outfield Wednesday while normal right fielder Bryan De La Cruz gets a day off. Yorke has now picked up eight starts in the Pirates' last nine games and has produced a .280/.296/.400 slash line with one home run and two steals since being called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sept. 16. He should be in store for near-everyday playing time in the final week of the season.

  • Pirates' Nick Yorke: Call-up official, will start Monday

    The Pirates selected Yorke's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals. He'll start at second base and bat seventh in the series opener. Pittsburgh optioned infielder Alika Williams to Triple-A to clear a spot on the active roster for Yorke, who could be in store for a near-everyday role while getting his first taste of the big leagues over the final two weeks of the season. After being acquired from the Red Sox at the trade deadline, Yorke slashed .359/.438/.516 with two home runs and eight stolen bases in 176 plate appearances at Indianapolis to earn his way to the majors. Yorke has spent most of his minor-league career at second base, but he also picked up starts at shortstop and third base along with all three outfield spots this season and could end up filling a super-utility role for the Pirates.

  • Red Sox's Nick Yorke: Slated for work in outfield

    The Red Sox will have Yorke work into outfield drills during spring training in an attempt to increase his versatility, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports. Yorke is in big-league camp as a non-roster player, and while he doesn't have a realistic shot to make the team, he will get a chance to make an impression while also showing what he can do in the outfield. He has played second base exclusively so far in the minor leagues. A first-round pick in 2020, Yorke spent last season at Double-A Portland, slashing .268/.350/.435 with 13 homers and 18 steals across 506 plate appearances.

  • Red Sox's Nick Yorke: Rolling along at Double-A

    Yorke is slashing .275/.361/.453 with nine home runs, six steals and a 25 percent strikeout rate in 69 games with Double-A Portland. He has been 22 percent better than league average by wRC+ as one of the younger hitters at Double-A. Yorke, who won't turn 22 until Opening Day of next year, has played exclusively at second base for the Sea Dogs aside from 10 starts at designated hitter. He isn't expected to add much defensive value, so Yorke needs to sustain a high level of offensive production as he inches closer to the big leagues.

  • Red Sox's Nick Yorke: More walks than Ks at Double-A

    Yorke is slashing .241/.450/.483 with two home runs, 10 walks and eight strikeouts in 40 plate appearances for Double-A Portland. Yorke, who just turned 21, got a vote of confidence with the assignment to Double-A after having an injury-affected 2022 season where he was a below league-average hitter (84 wRC+) at High-A. He had an incredibly strong debut season in 2021, so if Yorke continues to have success against Double-A pitching, last year's rough season will look more and more like the outlier. The bat-first infielder has played second base and designated hitter in the early going.

  • Red Sox's Nick Yorke: Endures tough 2022 season

    Yorke hit just .231/.303/.365 with 11 homers and eight steals in 80 games for High-A Greenville this season. The 2020 draft's No. 17 pick, Yorke popped in the minors in 2021 (.325/.412/.516 with 14 homers and 13 steals in 97 games), including a strong stint in Greenville, but his second go-around at the same level was marred by injury and poor performance. That'll likely send him plummeting down the prospect lists heading into next year, but the 20-year-old still has plenty of upside and makes for an intriguing buy-low target for dynasty managers with an appetite for risk.

  • Red Sox's Nick Yorke: Missing in action with wrist injury

    Yorke has not played for High-A Greenville since July 3 due to a wrist injury, Alex Speier of the Boston Globe reports. Yorke has also missed time this year with turf toe and back stiffness, and his struggles (.237/.310/.342 in 45 games) can be attributed to how banged up he has been. Boston remains optimistic Yorke will be able to return to game action "before long," according to Speier.

  • Red Sox's Nick Yorke: Out with turf toe

    Yorke was placed on the 7-day injured list Thursday at High-A Greenville with turf toe, Chris Hatfield of SoxProspects.com reports. Per Hatfield, the team is hopeful Yorke will only need to miss the remainder of this week before getting back in action. He has been out since May 26. Yorke has gotten off to a slow start to the season, hitting .245/.319/.361 with four home runs and five steals in 34 games. His 53.5 GB% and 49.6 Pull% are uncharacteristically high, but it's still a small sample and his plate skills are intact.

  • Red Sox's Nick Yorke: Bat coming around in High-A

    Yorke is hitting a modest .259/.338/.397 with four homers and five steals across 27 games for High-A Greenville, but he's been warming up recently, hitting .324/.390/.595 across his last eight games. The latter batting line is more along the lines of what we expected from Yorke, who was a major offensive force in his age-19 campaign at both Low-A and High-A last season. With his numbers still looking unremarkable, the buy-low window may not have slammed shut yet, but it probably will soon.

  • Red Sox's Nick Yorke: Opening 2022 in High-A

    Yorke is projected to start 2022 at High-A Greenville, Over The Monster reports. That's where he finished out 2021 -- hitting .333/.406/.571 after being promoted from Low-A -- but he won't likely stay there for long if he keeps performing as well as he has thus far in his young career. Barely 20 years old (his birthday was Saturday), Yorke has one of the better hit tools in the minors, and he also has enough pop and speed to make a real fantasy impact, so he bears watching as he climbs through the organization.

  • Red Sox's Nick Yorke: Managing back soreness

    Yorke has not played in the last four games with Low-A Salem due to a sore back, Steve Hewitt of the Boston Herald reports. The infielder's four-game absence is considered precautionary and he is not expected to miss much longer. Yorke, who was picked 17th overall by Boston in 2020, is slashing .301/.387.415 with three homers, 21 RBI and nine stolen bases across 204 plate appearances with Salem this season.
