(Pittsburgh, PA) Nick Gonzales left the Pittsburgh Pirates’ game against the Chicago Cubs at PNC Park yesterday due to an injury. 

Gonzales exited ahead of the top of the fourth inning after appearing to be in discomfort following a deep fly ball in the second inning. He had previously taken a foul ball off his left knee during the Pirates’ 10-4 loss to the Cubs on Wednesday.

The Pirates announced that Gonzales was removed as a precaution due to left knee discomfort. He is considered day-to-day and is currently being evaluated by the team’s medical staff. 

Tyler Callihan replaced Gonzales in the game after being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis earlier in the day. 

Gonzales is slashing .296/.350/.344 for an OPS of .694, with 55 hits in 186 at-bats, nine doubles, 22 RBI and 13 walks to 36 strikeouts.
