Pirates' Connor Joe: Slugs ninth homer
Connor Joe went 3-for-4 with a solo home run two RBI and two walks Wednesday against the Cubs.He got the start in right field in place of Bryan De La Cruz, and Joe delivered his second home run in his last three appearances. Though his playing time has come primarily against lefties, Rowdy Tellez (undisclosed) exited Wednesday's game early, and Joe would be the likely replacement if Tellez is out for an extended period.

Pirates' Connor Joe: Filling in for resting De La Cruz
Connor Joe will start in right field and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.After filling in for the left-handed-hitting Rowdy Tellez at first base while southpaw Justin Steele was on the hill for Chicago, Joe will retain a spot in the lineup in the series finale while the Cubs send righty Kyle Hendricks to the hill. Joe will be stepping in in right field in place of Bryan De La Cruz, who appears to be getting some routine maintenance after starting in each of the last eight games. Joe's opportunities to make starts against right-handed pitching are still expected to remain fairly limited during the final month of the season.

Pirates' Connor Joe: Racks up three hits
Connor Joe went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Astros.Joe notched his first multi-hit game since June 26. The 31-year-old is batting a meager .224 (11-for-49) in July, and just two of those hits have gone for extra bases. For the season, he's slashing .244/.325/.383 with seven home runs, 31 RBI, 42 runs scored and two stolen bases across 332 plate appearances. Joe got the start in right field Tuesday, but he'll likely be back in a short-side platoon role at first base once outfielder Bryan De La Cruz reports to the Pittsburgh Pirates after they acquired him in a trade with the Marlins earlier in the day.

Pirates' Connor Joe: Back on bench in Reynolds' return
Connor Joe is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.Joe had picked up starts in three of the Pittsburgh Pirates' last four games, but his run of regular playing time will likely come to an end after Bryan Reynolds (personal) reinstated from the bereavement list Monday.
