Liover Peguero hit his ninth homer of the year for Indianapolis on Thursday. The homer put the Triple-A squad on the board in the second inning, as the start of an eventual 7-5 victory.
Peguero has fallen on the depth charts, especially after a trade deadline that saw the Pirates add a Major League second base option in Isiah Kiner-Falefa, along with two Triple-A depth options in Nick Yorke and Billy Cook. Once seen as a top prospect for a middle infield starting job, Peguero has hit .251/.311/.401 in 342 plate appearances in Triple-A this year, while dealing with a 23.
