Pirates activated SS/3B Jared Triolo from the 10-day injured list.

Triolo returns to Pittsburgh’s infield mix after missing nearly one month following right knee surgery. A couple things changed during his absence, most notably the top prospect in baseball, Konnor Griffin, taking over as the club’s starting shortstop in addition to signing a long-term contract extension. That qualifies as a notable development. Triolo will most likely function in a bench role, filling in occasionally across the infield dirt when needed.
