    Pirates' Ji Hwan Bae: Taking seat against righty

    Ji-Hwan Bae is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.Though a right-hander (Nick Martinez) is on the hill for the Reds, the lefty-hitting Bae will head to the bench for the series finale. Michael Taylor will step in as the Pittsburgh Pirates' center fielder in place of Bae, who still looks to be the Pirates' preferred option at the position after starting in each of the team's previous five matchups with righties.

    Pirates' Ji Hwan Bae: On bench against lefty

    Ji-Hwan Bae is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.The lefty-hitting Bae will hit the bench for the second day in a row while the Rangers send another southpaw (Andrew Heaney) to the hill, but the 25-year-old might have temporarily recaptured a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching. He started in each of the Pittsburgh Pirates' last three matchups with righties, going 2-for-11 with three strikeouts. Billy McKinney looks to be Bae's main threat for playing time in right field with Bryan De La Cruz and Bryan Reynolds likely to see more starts at designated hitter in the short term while Andrew McCutchen (knee) is on the injured list.

    Pirates' Ji Hwan Bae: Playing time trending down

    Ji-Hwan Bae is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.Bae will hit the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Rowdy Tellez and Oneil Cruz while the Padres send southpaw Martin Perez to the hill for the series finale.

    Pirates' Ji Hwan Bae: Swipes bag in loss

    Ji-Hwan Bae went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.Bae was productive in his return to the starting lineup after being on the bench the previous two games. He doubled his first time up and came around to score on an Andrew McCutchen home run. Bae then notched a base hit in the fifth and stole second but was left stranded. Though it's a smaller sample size, Sunday was just his second multi-hit game of the year, and the double was only his second extra-base hit. For the year, Bae is slashing .216/.281/.255 with four RBI, 10 runs, five steals and a 5:16 BB:K in 57 plate appearances.

    Pirates' Ji Hwan Bae: Checking back into starting nine

    Ji-Hwan Bae (knee) will start in center field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.Bae hadn't started in any of Pittsburgh's last four games after he experienced left knee discomfort during Monday's 5-3 win over the Astros, but he showed enough improvement to make an appearance off the bench Saturday. In Pittsburgh's 4-2 win over Arizona, Bae entered the game in the bottom of the sixth inning as a pinch runner and came around to score, then struck out in his lone plate appearance of the night. With his knee apparently responding well following his cameo off the bench Saturday, Bae will step back into the starting nine for the series finale.

    Ji-Hwan Bae (knee) isn't in the Pittsburgh Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.Saturday will mark the fourth game in a row that Bae has missed since he departed Monday's contest with a left knee injury. The Pirates haven't given any sort of indication that the 25-year-old is trending toward a stay on the injured list, but he may need to be placed on the IL if his condition doesn't improve soon. In the meantime, Michael Taylor will continue to fill in as Pittsburgh's center fielder.
