Connor Joe - Clubs sixth homer Joe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Giants.
Impact Joe's first-inning blast off John Brebbia was the Pirates' lone extra-base hit of the contest. This was Joe's 10th straight game without a multi-hit effort -- he's gone 5-for-33 (.152) with a 3:9 BB:K in that span. He's filled in at first base for Carlos Santana (back) in the last two games, but Joe's lack of consistent hitting could ultimately see him drop back into a short-side platoon role as he did earlier in the month. The 30-year-old is slashing .242/.333/.471 with six homers, 16 RBI, 26 runs scored and two stolen bases through 47 contests, though his season numbers were fueled by a strong start to the campaign.

David Bednar - Picks up 10th save Bednar struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Giants.
Impact Bednar's last save came on April 29, as the Pirates' early success has largely dwindled throughout May. He's pitched eight times this month, allowing two runs on six hits with 11 strikeouts and no walks over eight innings, so he's at least provided solid work despite the lack of saves. For the season, the Pittsburgh closer has converted 10 of 11 save chances with a 1.29 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 28:1 K:BB through 21 innings.

Johan Oviedo - Shaky command Tuesday Oviedo allowed a run on three hits and five walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Giants.
Impact Oviedo's lack of command led to him needing 92 pitches (53 strikes) to get 13 outs. It also played a part in him falling short of qualifying for the win. This is the eighth straight outing in which he's walked multiple batters, and the second time he's issued five free passes in a start. The right-hander owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 53:30 K:BB over 58 innings through 11 starts this season. Oviedo is projected for a favorable home start versus the Athletics next week.

Bryan Reynolds - Gets Tuesday off Reynolds is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact It's a day of rest for Reynolds, who has hit a relatively disappointing .245/.317/.426 in the month of May over 94 at-bats. Jack Suwinski is playing left field with Ji Hwan Bae getting the start in center.

Carlos Santana - Remains out Tuesday Santana is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Santana left Sunday's loss to the Mariners with a back injury, and while it's not expected to be a long-term issue, the veteran infielder will miss at least one more game while recovering. Connor Joe will be the first baseman in Santana's absence and hit third.

Tucupita Marcano - Getting look in leadoff spot Marcano went 3-for-4 with two doubles Monday against the Giants.
Impact Marcano hit atop the Pirates order for the second consecutive game against a right-handed pitcher and he's gone 4-for-8 in that small sample. It's unclear if he'll continue to have a chance in the role as the team has cycled through a number of different options in recent weeks. Marcano has taken over the strong-side platoon role at shortstop and has taken advantage of the opportunity by collecting three multi-hit games in his last five starts.

Jack Suwinski - Drills two home runs Suwinski went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo homers in Monday's loss to the Giants.
Impact The Pirates suffered a blowout loss but Suwinski posted his second multi-homer effort in his last four games. He's up to 11 long balls this season after a 14-game drought that lasted most of the month. The second-year outfielder is slashing .239/.353/.521, though he's gone just 15-for-74 (.203) in May.

Rich Hill - Crushed in loss Hill (4-5) allowed six runs on nine hits and a walk over six innings Monday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Giants.
Impact Hill was cursed by a disastrous second inning in which he gave up five runs. He allowed a home run for the first time since May 5 and saw his ERA jump to 4.76 through 58.2 frames. Hill has been charged with at least four runs in three of his last five starts, including 11 total runs in his last two appearances. He's currently lined up for a weekend start at home against the Cardinals.
