Connor Joe Stats

The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired first baseman/outfielder Connor Joe from the Colorado Rockies on Sunday in exchange for minor-league pitcher Nick Garcia. Joe had eight home runs in his first year in Colorado in just 63 games played in 2021, but he was rather disappointing in his first full major-league campaign this year. The 30-year-old finished the 2022 season with a .238/.338/.359 slash line with a .697 OPS, seven home runs, 28 RBI, 56 runs scored and six stolen bases in 467 plate appearances and 111 games. Joe has also had reverse splits and has been more productive against right-handed pitching in his three big-league seasons. Joe's move from Coors Field to PNC Park will be a big downgrade for his overall fantasy value, but he should be a near everyday player for the rebuilding Bucs.

The Colorado Rockies activated second baseman Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) from the injured list on Thursday and placed outfielder Connor Joe (ribs) on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Rodgers went on the IL a week ago and will be back for the final handful of games in the 2022 regular season. It remains to be seen if he'll be back in the starting lineup on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants. The 26-year-old is returning to a .261/.319/.396 slash line with 11 homers, 61 RBI and 68 runs in 502 at-bats this year. Joe will miss the rest of the regular season with his injury. He'll finish his season hitting .238/.338/.359 with seven home runs, 28 RBI, 56 runs scored and six stolen bases in 111 games in his second season in Colorado.
