Ji Hwan Bae News: Headed back to Triple-A

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

The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Nick Solak, whose contract was selected by the Pirates. Bae appeared in five games for Pittsburgh after being recalled May 9 and went 1-for-7 with two stolen bases and three runs scored over that span. He could return to the majors should the Pirates require outfield depth.
