Ngoepe was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Despite an outstanding spring showing that saw him go 18-for-42 (.429) over 21 games, Ngoepe will start the season with Indianapolis. However, while the possibility exists that he could be called up to the majors at some point in 2017, Ngoepe's fantasy value will remain limited barring an injury to Jordy Mercer.
