Fantasy Impact: Jones remains on the 60-day injured list with late May/early June being the earliest he can be activated. He is working his way back from internal brace surgery on his UCL.

Nick Yorke went 3-for-3 with a walk and a run scored but it wasn't enough as the Pirates dropped an 8-2 decision to the Padres on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Since his walk-off double last Saturday against the Orioles, Yorke has started three of Pittsburgh's last four games at third base and has gone 5-for-10 during the stretch. He accounted for half of Pittsburgh's six hits on Wednesday, including his second double of the year and a leadoff single in the seventh that left his bat at 109.8 mph. Yorke is batting .381 (8-for-21) on the season with three runs scored, two doubles, two RBI, and a 5:4 BB:K ratio. He is splitting time with Nick Gonzales while Jared Triolo (knee) is out, but he is certainly pushing for more action - even after Triolo returns - with the way he is swinging the bat. Keep an eye on him.
