The Pittsburgh Pirates purchased the contract of Nick Yorke from Triple-A Indianapolis ahead of Monday’s game, with Yorke making his debut on Monday night. Alika Williams was sent down to make room on the active roster for Yorke.
Yorke was acquired at the trade deadline from the Red Sox for Quinn Priester. He made an adjustment to his swing with the Red Sox in Double-A, which led to a .310/.408/.490 line with six homers in 145 Triple-A at-bats before the trade. After the deal, Yorke hit .355/.431/.507 with two homers and 17 doubles with Indianapolis.
