Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Flashes wheels Tuesday
Rotowire
Hayes went 2-for-4 with a triple and a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Mets.

The third baseman hasn't gone consecutive games without a hit since mid-April, and over his last 22 contests he's slashing .310/.341/.356 with two steals and seven RBI, but somehow only one run scored.

Pirates' Ke'Bryan Hayes: Lifts three-run homer
Rotowire
Hayes went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Yankees.
Hayes went just 2-for-16 over his first five games of the year, but he's hit safely in three straight contests to begin April.

He's batting .214 with three RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases over eight contests. This was Hayes' first game at leadoff in 2025 after hitting no higher than sixth for the first week of the season -- the Pirates faced seven right-handers before drawing their first southpaw in Max Fried for Friday's contest.
