Liover Peguero Stats

The Pittsburgh Pirates are calling up infield prospect Liover Peguero from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday and are optioning outfielder Josh Palacios to Indianapolis in a corresponding move. The 22-year-old Peguero is Pittsburgh's No. 7 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and he gets the call to the Show after hitting a combined .260/.333/.462 with 13 home runs, 20 doubles, two triples, 39 RBI, 21 stolen bases and 54 runs scored in 76 games at Indy and Double-A Altoona. Most of his action came for Altoona. Peguero made his big-league debut in 2022 but played in only one game. At least in the short term, he could see regular playing time at shortstop for the Bucs, making him worth a waiver-wire pickup in deeper leagues. Speed will be his biggest asset, but he could struggle at the plate if he chases outside the zone.

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Liover Peguero is expected to be called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday. The 22-year-old is slashing 260/.333/.462 with 13 homers, 39 RBI and 21 stolen bases across 76 games in the minors this season. Peguero made his MLB debut with the Pirates last season, but only played in one game. He's certainly going to get more of a look this time around. The Pirates aren't exactly contenders right now, so Peguero should get a lengthy opportunity.

The Pittsburgh Pirates recalled shortstop Liover Peguero and placed Tucupita Marcano on the COVID injured list on Friday. Peguero is a well-regarded prospect for the Pirates, coming in as their No. 5 overall prospect according to MLB Pipeline. The 21-year-old will report to the Pirates straight from Double-A Altoona, where he is hitting .292 with five homers, 28 runs, 33 RBI, and 14 steals across 226 at-bats. Dynasty gamers will want to take note of Peguero's status in their leagues, although it might be a lot to expect much production from him with the Pirates at this stage considering he's never played above Double-A.
