The Pirates haven't had much luck recently and it got worse on Wednesday, as second baseman Neil Walker left the game against the Dodgers with a dislocated finger on his right hand.
Walker fell over Los Angeles' Mark Ellis on a double-play attempt and appeared to fall on his right hand. The Pirates moved Josh Harrison from third base to second and put Pedro Alvarez in the game at third, batting in Walker's second spot.
Walker is hitting .290/.353/.452 with 14 home runs and 67 RBI this season.
The Pirates have lost their last two going into Wednesday's game against Los Angeles and five of their last six.
