The Pittsburgh Pirates need more reliable offensive and defensive production, and they’ll get that Sunday with Ke’Bryan Hayes back in the lineup. Hayes missed the first two games against the Tampa Bay Rays with a shoulder injury but is back as the Pirates look to salvage a win from the three-game set.
Hayes suffered the shoulder injury in Thursday night’s NL Central battle against the Chicago Cubs. The Pirates’ third baseman collided with Cubs catcher Willson Contreras at home plate in what Hayes described as a “freak accident.”
Ke'Bryan Hayes is back in Pirates lineup today after dinging shoulder on Thur in collision at plate.
