Pirates' Liover Peguero: Headed back to Triple-A
The Pirates optioned Peguero to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.
He'll give up his spot on the Pirates' 26-man roster to infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. After being called up from Triple-A on May 2, Peguero appeared in four games for Pittsburgh and went 2-for-9 with three strikeouts.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: First start since recall
Peguero went 1-for-3 against the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Among six optioned Tuesday
The Pirates optioned Peguero to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Peguero had been among the field battling for a spot on the Pirates' bench to begin the regular season, but going 2-for-15 with a home run in 10 games won't be enough to crack the Opening Day roster. Until the 24-year-old's bat improves, he's likely destined to spend most of his time in Triple-A, though he may be promoted throughout the season to provide Pittsburgh with some fresh legs off the bench.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Up with big club
The Pirates recalled Peguero from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old was up in the majors for a couple days in early June but hasn't seen action in the big leagues since last season. Peguero posted a .257/.316/.409 slash line with 13 homers and 15 steals in 128 games with Indianapolis this year.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Sent to Triple-A
Peguero was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.
The 23-year-old was called up by Pittsburgh on Tuesday and will return to Indianapolis without appearing in a big-league game. Peguero has a .272/.341/.378 slash line with two homers, 34 RBI, 32 runs and five steals in 51 games at Triple-A this year.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Recalled from Triple-A
The Pirates recalled Peguero from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Peguero was a somewhat surprising exclusion from the Pirates' Opening Day roster and wound up spending a couple months at Indianapolis before getting another shot with the big club. He's slashed .272/.341/.387 this year with Indianapolis, hitting two home runs and stealing five bases. Peguero will back up at both middle infield spots.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Optioned to Indianapolis
The Pirates optioned Peguero to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.
Peguero entered spring camp as the Pirates' likely Opening Day second baseman, but he will instead head to the minors after going 7-for-26 with three RBI. With the 23-year-old in Triple-A, Jared Triolo figures to take over at second base, but Peguero could reclaim his spot if he gets off to a fast start in Indianapolis.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Returns to lineup
Peguero (illness) is starting at second base in Thursday's spring game against Toronto.
Peguero has been out of action since March 13 due to a virus, but his illness appears to have subsided ahead of Thursday's contest. Peguero went 7-for-24 with a homer and three RBI during Grapefruit League play before getting sick, and he remains the favorite to start at second base on Opening Day.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Recovering from virus
Pirates manager Derek Shelton said Monday that Peguero hasn't been featured in the Grapefruit League lineup since last Wednesday while he recovers from a virus, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
A bug seems to be making its way around the Pirates' spring facility in Bradenton, Fla., as Shelton also noted that reliever Colin Holderman hasn't been available since last Tuesday due to an illness. Peguero had already compiled 24 at-bats in Grapefruit League action before his recent absence, so assuming he's able to get back in action before the Pirates' spring schedule comes to a close March 25, his availability for Opening Day shouldn't be in question. The 23-year-old is likely to begin the season as the Pirates' everyday second baseman.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Favorite for second base job
Peguero is the favorite to start at second base for the Pirates entering spring training, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.
Peguero was promoted to the majors in mid-July and stuck with the team through the close of the 2023 season. He made 33 starts at second base and 39 at shortstop, though Oneil Cruz will be back to handle the latter position in 2024. Peguero will still have to battle with Jared Triolo and Nick Gonzales for playing time at the keystone, but he arguably has the highest long-term upside of the group. That could be enough to convince the Pirates to give him a long look to begin the season, even after he struck out at a 28.1 percent clip with a 64 wRC+ in his first significant taste of the majors.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Steals sixth base
Peguero went 2-for-4 with a steal in Friday's loss against the Marlins.
Peguero secured his sixth stolen base of the season when he swiped second in the fourth inning. The rookie infielder has managed 27 steals in 2023, including 21 during two minor-leagues stops prior to his promotion. Peguero's performance this season has been mediocre outside of the speed as he is slashing .230/.271/.364 over his first 56 big-league games.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Absent from lineup
Peguero isn't in the Pirates' lineup Saturday against the Reds, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Peguero will catch a breather after starting nine straight games, during which he went 7-for-34 with four RBI and two runs scored. Alika Williams will fill in at shortstop and bat ninth while Peguero rests.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Sitting against righty
Peguero is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Nationals.
Ji Hwan Bae will play second base and bat leadoff against the Nats and right-hander Joan Adon. Jack Suwinski is in center field and hitting cleanup. Peguero has put up solid numbers versus lefties this season, but he is slashing just .198/.243/.396 in 105 plate appearances versus righties.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Homers in win
Peguero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 8-4 win over Atlanta.
Peguero has gone 8-for-30 (.267) with two extra-base hits over eight games in September, though he is maintaining consistent playing time in the middle infield. The rookie is slashing .252/.301/.437 with seven homers, 22 RBI, 19 runs scored and four stolen bases over 42 contests this season. Peguero will likely continue to split time between second base and shortstop, with Alika Williams and Vinny Capra also mixing in on occasion.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Running hot at plate
Peguero went 2-for-5 with a pair of base hits in Saturday's 7-6 win over the Cardinals.
Peguero turned in his third multi-hit effort in four games and appears to have bounced back nicely from a recent three-game stretch in which he went 0-for-9 with a walk and six strikeouts. He'll stick in the starting nine for Sunday's series finale, manning shortstop and batting sixth.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Tallies three hits, homer
Peguero went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 6-3 victory over the Royals.
Peguero swatted his sixth home run of 2023 on Tuesday, driving in Endy Rodriguez and Josh Palacios on a three-run shot off Steven Cruz in the ninth inning. In the three games prior to Tuesday's outburst, Peguero was 0-for-9 with six strikeouts, and the home run was his first since Aug. 15. On the season, Peguero is slashing .248/.300/.446 across 112 plate appearances, and he's stolen four bases.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Not in lineup Thursday
Peguero is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.
Vinny Capra will start at second base and bat sixth. This is presumably just a routine breather for Peguero, who went 2-for-4 with two singles, a stolen base and a run scored in the Pirates' series finale versus the Cardinals on Wednesday.

Pirates' Liover Peguero: Swipes fourth bag
Peguero went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored Wednesday against the Cardinals.
Peguero has experienced some of the ups and downs expected of rookies, as he entered Wednesday's game with only two hits across his prior 17 at-bats. He broke out of that slump with the seventh multi-hit performance in 28 big-league games so far this season. Peguero has seen the majority of his playing time at second base, and that role should be more secure moving forward with Oneil Cruz's (ankle) return in doubt.
