he Pirates have placed outfielder Gregory Polanco on the 10-day DL, as Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette tweets. The move was made retroactive to May 15th, and Pittsburgh has recalled Danny Ortiz to take his place on the active roster.



Polanco is dealing with a hamstring issue, which added to the shoulder troubles that have seemingly hampered him in the first six weeks of the season. The 25-year-old has thus far struggled to a .252/.336/.370 batting line over 135 plate appearances. While he has dramatically improved his plate discipline with just 18 strikeouts against 14 walks, he has fallen well off of last year’s pace in the power department (one home run; .118 isolated slugging)

That's too bad. I really thought he was coming around over the last week and a half. I think he will pick it up when he gets back.
