Yorke returns to the majors for the first time this season as a September call-up ahead of Tuesday’s series opener against the Dodgers. The 23-year-old notable prospect got into 11 contests last year and has spent the entire season at Triple-A Indianapolis, slashing .287/.348/.406 with seven homers and 17 steals in 103 games. He needs to start putting the ball in the air more often if he’s going to make an impact at the highest level, but he’s talented enough to be fantasy-relevant at some point down the road.

Yorke, who was acquired last season from the Red Sox for Quinn Priester, has been heating up over the last few weeks and is slashing .326/.351/.438 in August with one home run, 15 RBI, 15 runs scored, and four steals. He probably deserves a shot at MLB at-bats to end the season.

Yorke has now homered in two straight games with hits in five straight and seven of his last eight. The 23-year-old hit .279/.347/.372 in June with one home run, 14 RBI, and two steals. The Pirates could move on from veterans like Tommy Pham and Adam Frazier at the deadline, which could finally open up some MLB at-bats for Yorke.

Yorke was acquired from Boston at last year’s trade deadline for Quinn Priester, so the Pirates are probably not thrilled about how well Priester has looked after overhauling his arsenal in Boston this offseason. Yorke is slashing .276/.346/.374 with four home runs and 11 steals in 64 games in Triple-A this season. At some point, he probably deserves a look in Pittsburgh.
