Fantasy Impact

Yorke has 13 hits, seven RBI, and one home run across 54 at-bats this season. Batting .241 with a .268 OBP, he’s shown flashes of production in a limited sample.

Nick Yorke has been called up from Triple-A.

Fantasy Impact

Yorke will join the Pirates for the first time this year after getting into 11 big-league games in 2024. The versatile 23-year-old has had a decent season for Triple-A Indianapolis, posting a .287 AVG with seven homers and 17 steals across 103 games.

Nick Yorke was placed on the 7-day injured list with a sore right shoulder.

Fantasy Impact

Yorke has been dealing with a shoulder injury since spring training. Pirates' general manager Ben Cherington stated they do not want him playing compromised and the stay on the IL should be short.

The Pirates optioned Nick Yorke to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Fantasy Impact

Yorke had been competing for a roster spot, but did not do quite enough. Billy Cook was optioned as well with the Pirates Opening Day roster now being full.

Nick Yorke is still vying for a Pirates roster spot, per team updates, with 7 hits in 30 Grapefruit League at-bats this spring, boosted by Spencer Horwitz’s injury.

Fantasy Impact

Yorke’s 7-for-30 spring line, with 2 extra-base hits, 10 strikeouts, and 6 walks, keeps him in the Pirates’ mix, especially with Horwitz’s wrist likely landing him on the IL. He competes with Billy Cooke and DJ Stewart for first base time. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should roster him, banking on his bat for early playing time in Pittsburgh.
