(Pittsburgh, PA) The Pittsburgh Pirates optioned infielder/outfielder Nick Yorke to Triple-A Indianapolis following Sunday’s 6-0 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.

A corresponding roster move will be announced before Tuesday’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Yorke, 24, is batting .197/.279/.276 with three doubles, one home run and six RBIs in 27 games this season. He was 0-for-8 in four games since being recalled from Indianapolis on May 8.

This marks the second time Yorke has been optioned this season. After making the Opening Day roster, he was sent to Indianapolis on May 2. In three games there, he went 0-for-10 with two strikeouts, one walk and one stolen base.
