Travis Swaggerty Stats

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Travis Swaggerty is making his major league debut on Tuesday, starting in center field and batting ninth against Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal. Swaggerty was brought up from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday after hitting .280/.362/.439 with four home runs, 22 RBI and five stolen bases in 35 games for Indianapolis. The former first-rounder is listed by MLB Pipeline as the team's No. 13 prospect, and the left-handed hitter has plenty of raw power and a solid approach at the plate, but it remains to be seen how long he'll remain on Pittsburgh's MLB roster. Swaggerty won't have a ton of DFS appeal on Tuesday in the nine-hole in his debut.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Travis Swaggerty has been recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday. The news was first reported on Saturday and the move was made official on Sunday, prior to the start of the Pirates game against the Diamondbacks. The former 2018 first-round pick has put together a nice season at the minor-league level, slashing .280/.362/.439 with four home runs, 22 RBI, and five steals for Triple-A Indianapolis. He isn't starting for Pittsburgh on Sunday but could make his debut as a pinch-hitter in the contest. He should be added in deeper mixed and NL-only leagues.
