Jared Triolo Fantasy Stats

The Pittsburgh Pirates appear "willing to afford" infielder Jared Triolo the opportunity to win the starting third base job in 2026 now that Ke'Bryan Hayes and Isiah Kiner-Falefa are out of town, according to Kevin Gorman of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Triolo's glove is elite, and he won the National League Gold Glove as a utility player in 2024. Third base is the most natural of the half-dozen positions Triolo has played in the minors and majors, but it remains to be seen if he can hit enough to win the job. The 28-year-old had a .227/.311/.356 slash line with seven homers and 24 RBI in 107 games in 2025, which included a demotion to the minors in July when he was hitting just .158. He hit .315 with an .889 OPS in August, though, and finished strong at the plate. Triolo has a career 87 wRC+ in just over 1,000 career plate appearances, so from a fantasy perspective, he'll really only be worth a roster spot in NL-only leagues if he wins the starting third base job.

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Jared Triolo is being called up from Triple-A Indianapolis and will take over starting third base duties for the team after they traded Ke'Bryan Hayes to the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday, according to Noah Hiles of Pittsburgh PG. Triolo will not officially rejoin the big-league roster until before Friday's series opener against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. The 27-year-old was originally a second-round selection by the Bucs in 2019 out of the University of Houston. He made his major-league debut in 2023 and has hit a weak .225/.311/.326 with a .638 OPS, 15 home runs, 77 RBI and 19 stolen bases in 234 games. Triolo has gone 22-for-139 (.158) with three homers, 10 RBI and five steals for Pittsburgh in 55 games this year. He should probably only be rostered in NL-only leagues now that he'll see regular playing time.

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Jared Triolo is taking the day off for Wednesday's series finale against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Liover Peguero is starting at shortstop and is hitting ninth against Cardinals right-hander Sonny Gray. Triolo will rest on Wednesday after starting at either shortstop or second base in each of the team's last eight games. The 27-year-old hasn't gotten it going offensively yet in 2025, as he's gone just 8-for-57 (.140) with no home runs, an RBI, a run scored and two stolen bases for the Pirates. Triolo is a glove-first utility infielder for Pittsburgh that lacks any real fantasy upside with his bat, but he could continue to see most of the starts at the 6 with Isiah Kiner-Falefa (hamstring) on the injured list. Peguero is a DFS fade in the nine-hole. He has one hit in three career at-bats against Gray.

Pittsburgh Pirates Gold Glove utility infielder Jared Triolo (back), who has been out since April 7 with a lumbar spine strain, will head to Triple-A Indianapolis for a minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's Kevin Gorman. Triolo took ground balls on Monday at PNC Park before the game against the Washington Nationals and didn't have any issues. The 27-year-old is eligible to come off the 10-day injured list on Wednesday, but that might not happen until later this week or weekend after he plays in a few rehab games on the farm. Triolo is more useful to the Bucs for his glove and not his bat, limiting his fantasy appeal to primarily NL-only leagues as infield depth. He went 1-for-17 at the plate with a walk and five stolen bases in six games for Pittsburgh to begin his third MLB season before landing on the IL.

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Jared Triolo (back) is being placed on the 10-day injured list on Monday with lower-back soreness and the team is promoting infield prospect Tsung-Che Cheng to the major-league roster in a corresponding move, sources tell MLB.com's Alex Stumpf. Per MLB Pipeline, Cheng is the team's No. 17 prospect. The 27-year-old Triolo was serving in a utility infield role with playing time at second, first and third base while going just 1-for-17 with a run scored before his injury. His back injury was initially deemed pretty mild, so he could return to Pittsburgh when he's eligible to come off the IL in mid-April. In the meantime, Cheng will take his place as a utility infielder for the Bucs. The 23-year-old Taiwanese infielder had gone only 1-for-14 with a walk and six strikeouts in five games for Triple-A Indianapolis before getting his first major-league call-up.

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Jared Triolo (undisclosed) was a late scratch on Sunday due to an undisclosed injury. He was replaced by Isiah Kiner-Falefa in the starting nine. Fantasy managers should monitor Triolo's status leading up to their next contest against the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday evening. Triolo has had a slow start to the campaign, tallying just one hit over his first six contests. During this stretch, he has held a 1:5 BB:K and scored one run. Fantasy managers should continue to expect Isiah Kiner-Falefa to have a role in the starting nine while Triolo remains sidelined. Last season, Triolo posted a modest .216/.296/.315 slash line with nine home runs and eight stolen bases. When healthy, he should only be targeted in deeper formats given his low offensive upside.

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Jared Triolo isn't included in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the division-rival Cincinnati Reds at PNC Park. Triolo will get a day off to rest after starting in each of the team's last eight games. Alika Williams is getting the nod at second base for this one and will bat eighth against Reds right-hander Nick Martinez. The 26-year-old Triolo is getting more run in Pittsburgh's lineup with both Nick Gonzales and Ke'Bryan Hayes on the shelf. He's still not much more of a fantasy option in mixed leagues, though, and is hitting .197/.283/.285 on the year with six homers, 33 RBI and five steals in 95 games played in his second year in the big leagues. Fantasy managers should be able to find better DFS options than Williams, who is still searching for his first major-league home run in his 75th career game.

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Jared Triolo homered for the second time in three games during Monday's 4-3 loss at the Texas Rangers. Triolo accounted for the Pirates' offense with his three-run dinger off Dane Dunning in the top of the fourth inning, his sixth. The recent power surge has Triolo hitting .201/.287/.295 with 31 RBI, 27 runs scored, and five stolen bases in six attempts. Despite Triolo's bat showing some promise, fantasy managers in standard leagues are wise to avoid him. Those in NL-only and deeper league formats should consider him if options are limited at the hot corner.

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Jared Triolo (knee) said he woke up on Monday feeling "a lot better" after fouling a ball off his knee on Sunday, but he's out of the lineup against the Washington Nationals as a precaution. Triolo ended up staying in the 9-7 win over the Miami Marlins on Sunday, so his injury isn't anything serious and shouldn't land him on the injured list. With an off day coming on Tuesday, the 26-year-old could be back in action as soon as Wednesday versus the Nationals. Alika Williams will get the start at second base on Monday and is hitting ninth against Nationals left-hander MacKenzie Gore. In the first four games of the year, Triolo has gone 5-for-17 (.294) with two RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in 20 plate appearances.

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Jared Triolo's versatility may keep him from being the "everyday" second baseman in 2024, according to MLB.com's Jake Crouse. Triolo impressed in his rookie season in 2023, hitting .298/.388/.398 with three home runs, 21 RBI, six stolen bases and 30 runs scored in his first 54 major-league games. He's also a minor-league Gold Glove defender at third base and basically can play any position on the infield dirt. The fact that Triolo carries four gloves because of his utility defensively makes it seem less likely that he sticks at second permanently versus bouncing around. The good news is that the 25-year-old should see plenty of playing time at multiple positions, although it's fair to wonder how well he'll perform after having a fortunate BABIP while striking out a third of the time in 2023. Triolo is most attractive in deep mixed and NL-only leagues because of his defensive versatility.
