Ji Hwan Bae News: Demoted to Indianapolis

The Pirates optioned Bae to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

He's being sent back down to accommodate the return of Jack Suwinski (groin) from the injured list. The left-handed-hitting Bae had started four of the last five games against righties, but he's just 1-for-20 at the dish during his time with the Pirates this season.
