Pirates' Alika Williams: Sent back to minors
The Pirates optioned Williams from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.
He'll move off the 28-man active roster as the Pirates clear a spot for infielder Nick Yorke, whose contract was selected from Triple-A. Williams is a career .202/.257/.271 hitter over parts of two seasons at the major-league level and hadn't seen any game action for the Pirates in a week.

Pirates' Alika Williams: Summoned from Triple-A
The Pirates recalled Williams from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.
Andrew McCutchen (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Williams has previously appeared in 25 games for the Pirates this season, producing a slash line of .210/.246/.290 with three RBI across 69 plate appearances. He'll likely serve as a depth piece in the infield behind Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Oneil Cruz and Ke'Bryan Hayes.

Pirates' Alika Williams: Back in majors
The Pirates recalled Williams from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.
The 25-year-old will take the roster spot of Nick Gonzales, who was placed on the injured list Sunday with a groin injury. Williams has a .210/.234/.290 slash line in 23 big-league games this season and could see some action at second base with Gonzales expected to be out well beyond the 10-day minimum.

Pirates' Alika Williams: Activated and optioned
The Pirates reinstated Williams (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Pittsburgh will keep Jared Triolo on hand as its lone reserve infielder while Williams reports to the Triple-A club now that he's made a full recovery from the right wrist sprain that initially sent him to the IL on June 2. Williams had already been in the midst of a rehab assignment with Indianapolis, going 3-for-11 at the plate over three games.

Pirates' Alika Williams: Beginning rehab assignment
Williams (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.
Williams has been absent for most of this month with a right wrist sprain but is feeling well enough to test himself in a game setting. He's eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list at any time and shouldn't need a lengthy rehab assignment, given his brief absence.

Pirates' Alika Williams: Placed on IL
Pittsburgh placed Williams on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right wrist sprain.
The Pirates recalled right-hander Quinn Priester from Triple-A Indianapolis to replace Williams on the active roster ahead of Priester's scheduled start Sunday in Toronto. Williams had largely served as a short-side platoon player in the infield for Pittsburgh following his call-up from Indianapolis on May 11.

Pirates' Alika Williams: Recalled from Triple-A
Williams was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis prior to Saturday's game against the Cubs, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
Ke'Bryan Hayes was placed on the injured list with a back issue, so Williams could see some reps in the infield in the short term. Williams was optioned Friday and never actually got into a Triple-A game. He has a .239/.271/.348 slash line with zero home runs and one steal in 51 plate appearances in the majors.

Pirates' Alika Williams: Sent down Friday
Williams was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.
After making the Opening Day roster, Williams has produced a .239 batting average with two triples, a double, two RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base over 46 at-bats in 15 games with the Pirates so far in 2024, but he'll now head to Indianapolis. In his place, Nick Gonzales was recalled from Triple-A and will likely see most of his work at second base moving forward.

Pirates' Alika Williams: Working as reserve infielder
Williams went 1-for-4 with a stolen base Thursday against the Brewers.
The 25-year-old was in the lineup for the 10th time this season, as he stepped in at second base while Jared Triolo shifted to third in place of a resting Ke'Bryan Hayes. Williams has at least one hit in all but one of his starts this season, but he remains a bench option for Pittsburgh despite hitting .323 (10-for-31).

Pirates' Alika Williams: Looks to be on Opening Day roster
Williams is expected to make the Opening Day roster after Liover Peguero was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Ji Hwan Bae (hip) is also sidelined and could be headed for an injured list stint to begin the regular season. That leaves Williams as Pittsburgh's projected primary backup in the middle infield. His primary asset is his glove, so even on days when Williams is in the lineup, he doesn't project to have much fantasy appeal.

Williams will take a seat after he started each of the Pirates' last seven games at shortstop while going 5-for-20 with two doubles, two walks, two runs and two RBI. Liover Peguero will spell him at shortstop in the series finale, but Williams appears to be the Pirates' preferred option at the position since Ji Hwan Bae returned from the injured list to take over as the Bucs' primary second baseman.
