Ka'ai Tom News
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Ka'ai Tom (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a low back strain, the team announced on Twitter. The move was made retroactive to Friday, and in a corresponding move the Pirates recalled pitcher Kyle Keller from Triple-A Indianapolis. Tom hasn't really had any value in fantasy this year, as he's slashing .152/.308/.261 over 39 games since joining the Pirates. With Tom out, this likely means an increase in playing time for prospect Jared Oliva, who is 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in two games this season.
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Ka'ai Tom broke up Rockies right-handerGerman Marquez's no-hit bid with a leadoff single in the ninth inning and would record the only hit for Pittsburgh in an 8-0 loss to Colorado on Tuesday. Ironically, that was Tom's first hit since June 12, as he had gone 0-for-11 over his last seven games. While he prevented the no-hitter, he really doesn't have any fantasy value currently and is slashing .137/.278/.225 over 46 games this season.
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Ka'ai Tom (wrist) was removed from Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals with left wrist discomfort. It's the same wrist that just prompted a trip to the injured list for Tom. He was activated from the injured list this past weekend. The fact that the injury is reoccurring certainly seems like a bad sign, but he's being labeled as day-to-day by the team for now. Tom was 0-for-1 with a hit-by-pitch and a run scored in Tuesday's game before departing.
