Lonnie Chisenhall Fantasy Stats

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall (calf) remains at home in North Carolina and is not able to exercise. Chisenhall hasn't played all year and obviously isn't making much progress as we near the halfway point of the 2019 season. The 30-year-old also dealt with calf issues in Cleveland in 2018 and played in just 29 games, hitting .321 with a homer and nine RBI. Chisenhall hasn't played in over 82 games in a season since 2016 and probably wouldn't be seeing much playing time in Pittsburgh even if he was active, given the team's strong depth in the outfield.

Pittsburgh Pirates general manager Neal Huntington said that outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall (calf) has continued calf soreness and will "take some time here." Chisenhall has been out all year with a fractured right index finger and now the calf issue, and it's concerning since he played in just 29 games last year with the Indians due to calf issues in both legs. There's no timetable for his return at this point. Whenever he does make his season debut for the Bucs, the 30-year-old will be a platoon corner outfielder in Pittsburgh against right-handed pitchers.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall (calf), who is currently away from his rehab assignment at Triple-A Indianapolis due to a personal matter, told the team's trainer that he is still experiencing tightness in his calf. Chisenhall has yet to play this year and there remains no timetable for his return. At best, he'll likely be a platoon option in a corner outfield spot for the Bucs whenever he's able to return. He should only be stashed if you're desperate for outfield depth in NL-only leagues.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall (calf, finger) is away from his minor league rehab assignment for non-injury reasons, according to manager Clint Hurdle. Outfielder Corey Dickerson (shoulder) is scheduled to throw to the bases on Tuesday. Chisenhall hasn't played since May 15, so it's obviously a concern as he tries to work his way back to make his season debut. He'll likely be in a platoon role in a corner outfield spot against right-handed hitters whenever he makes his return. Dickerson had just 13 at-bats before landing on the injured list this year, but he's getting close to a rehab assignment. Keep an eye on him in deep mixed and NL-only leagues.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielders Corey Dickerson (shoulder) and Lonnie Chisenhall (calf, finger) are both getting closer to a return from the injured list. Dickerson is throwing without pain. Chisenhall, who hasn't played at all this year, was the designated hitter for Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday after playing seven innings in right field the night before. Dickerson has been out since April 4 with a shoulder strain. He should be able to stretch out to 90 feet or more in his throwing program this weekend. Dickerson should return to an everyday role when he's ready, while Chisenhall should start against some right-handed pitchers as a fourth outfielder. Their returns will be bad news for Melky Cabrera and Bryan Reynolds.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall (calf, finger) said his calf is feeling better and will run in a straight line and take batting practice on Tuesday. He could attempt to do side-to-side drills on Wednesday. Chisenhall has yet to play in 2019, but he should be an option against right-handers for DFS purposes sometime later this month. The 30-year-old hasn't played in more than 82 games since 2016, but he did hit .321 with a homer and nine RBI in 29 games for Cleveland in 2018 and 12 homers in 82 games in 2017. His return will be bad news for Melky Cabrera and Bryan Reynolds.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielders Corey Dickerson (shoulder) and Lonnie Chisenhall (left calf) and will undergo testing in the coming days, after suffering setbacks in their rehab. Dickerson was set to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis Saturday, as a designated hitter. He was throwing from just 110 feet Saturday before feeling a tightness in his right shoulder. Chisenhall left a rehab game Friday, after feeling tightness in his left calf while rounding a base. Dickerson hasn't played in a game since April 3, while Chisenhall has yet to play a game with the Pirates. In the meantime, the Pirates continue a platoon between Jason Martin, Pablo Reyes, and Melky Cabrera in left field.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall (finger) is expected to start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday. He hasn't played yet this year due to a right index finger fracture. Chisenhall has been plagued by injuries the last few years but should see a decent amount of at-bats in Pittsburgh against right-handed pitchers when he's healthy. He's hit .268/.320/.427 with 64 home runs and 296 RBI in 688 career games in eight seasons with the Indians before coming to Pittsburgh. He's one to stash in NL-only leagues and can be a solid low-priced DFS play in the right matchups.

Having suffered a broken right hand at the end of March, Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall is poised to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis this weekend. The 30-year-old spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Cleveland Indians before signing with Pittsburgh in late November. He hit .206 in 14 spring training games this season after hitting .321 in an injury-shortened 2018. At this point he shouldn't command much fantasy attention.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall (hand) will be out four to six weeks with a broken hand, reports The Athletics Ken Rosenthal. He was hit-by-pitch in Mondays spring training game against the Astros and was immediately pulled from the game.

In turn, Melky Cabrera will be the Pirates Opening Day right fielder and is batting seventh against the Reds.
