To make room for him on the roster, the Pirates placed right-handed reliever Chase Shugart on the 15-day injured list with left knee inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>Suwinski has had two stints with the Pirates this season. He cracked the club\u2019s Opening Day roster but was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on April 24 after prolonged struggles. He also served as the 27th man for a doubleheader in Detroit last month.<\/p>\n<p>In 18 games with the Pirates this season, the 26-year-old has hit just .119 with a .403 OPS, one double and one RBI. Last year, Suwinski slumped to a .182\/.264\/.324 batting line with nine home runs and 26 RBI in 88 games.<\/p>\n<p>But it was two years ago when he led the team in OPS (.793) and home runs (26). Suwinski finished the 2023 season with a .224\/.339\/.454 batting line and 74 RBI in a career-high 144 games.<\/p>\n<p>The Pirates are hoping Suwinski figured something out during his latest with Indianapolis, where he\u2019s been playing well. In 53 games at Triple-A, Suwinski was hitting .280\/.382\/.544 with 10 doubles, a triple, 12 home runs, 48 RBI and six steals in 53 games at the time of getting recalled.<\/p>\n<p>Suwinski is batting seventh in the Pirates\u2019 lineup on Tuesday and playing right field.<\/p>\n<p>Shugart allowed four runs in 2.2 innings in the Pirates\u2019 loss to the Royals on Monday night. It was a rare poor outing for the first-year Pirate, who had performed well this season.<\/p>\n<p>In 32 games, Shugart has a 4-3 record and a 3.69 ERA. He\u2019s held opponents to a .214 batting average, but has only struck out 22 in 39 innings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pittsburgh Pirates are recalling outfielder Jack Suwinski ahead of Tuesday\u2019s game against the Royals in Kansas City.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":162085,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2402],"tags":[5,8637,44,361,4,10,776,64,4297],"class_list":{"0":"post-162084","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh-pirates","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-chase-shugart","10":"tag-featured","11":"tag-jack-suwinski","12":"tag-mlb","13":"tag-pirates","14":"tag-pittsburgh","15":"tag-pittsburgh-pirates","16":"tag-pittsburghpirates"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/114820500022399897","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162084"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162084\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/162085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
