Ji Hwan Bae was a mainstay in the Pittsburgh Pirates' lineup in 2023, and after suffering a hip injury and spending a month in Triple-A, he is ready to rejoin the group in 2024.
To make room for Bae on the active 26-man roster, Pittsburgh optioned right-handed pitcher Ryder Ryan to Triple-A Indianapolis.
In 27 games with the Indians this season, Bae hit .367 with four home runs, 15 RBI, seven RBI and a 1.030 OPS. That production, as well as third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes' recent injury, may have convinced the Pirates to bring Bae back to the big leagues.
