The Pittsburgh Pirates reinstated infielder Jared Triolo from the 10-day injured list ahead of their Saturday game against the visiting Cincinnati Reds.
Triolo, 28, last played for the Pirates on April 3 due to an injury to the patellar tendon in his right knee.
The former Gold Glove winner batted .217 (5-for-23) with one RBI in six games with Pittsburgh before the injury. He hit .278 with one homer and three RBIs in five rehab games with Class A Bradenton and Double-A Altoona.
To make room on the 26-man roster, the Pirates optioned infielder/outfielder Nick Yorke to Triple-A Indianapolis after Friday’s 9-1 win against the Reds.
Yorke, 24, batted .221 with a home run and six RBIs in 23 games for Pittsburgh.
