Pirates acquired INF Ivan DeJesus, Jr. from the Red Sox in the Joel Hanrahan deal.

DeJesus owns a .298 batting average and .370 on-base percentage in the minors, but he has scuffled in sporadic opportunities in the majors. Without much in the way of pop or speed, the 25-year-old likely fits best as a utility player in the long-term. Wed, Dec 26, 2012 01:25:00 PM

Ivan DeJesus Jr. - 2B - Pirates

Red Sox sent INF Ivan DeJesus Jr. outright to Triple-A Pawtucket.

DeJesus was designated for assignment last week but has cleared waivers and will remain in the organization. He's batted just .205/.253/.247 over 48 career games.

Mon, Nov 26, 2012 02:38:00 PM

Ivan DeJesus Jr. - 2B - Pirates

Red Sox designated INF Ivan DeJesus Jr. for assignment.

DeJesus was out of options, and the Sox already have a similar player on the roster in Pedro Ciriaco. It's possible he'll receive some interest on waivers.

Tue, Nov 20, 2012 11:42:00 PM

Ivan DeJesus Jr. - 2B - Pirates

Red Sox recalled INF Ivan DeJesus Jr. from Triple-A Pawtucket.

Acquired from the Dodgers in last month's megadeal, DeJesus has batted .273/.324/.364 in 23 big league games this season. He'll provide infield depth.

Sun, Sep 2, 2012 02:02:00 PM

Ivan DeJesus Jr. - 2B - Pirates

Red Sox acquired INF Ivan DeJesus Jr., RHP Allan Webster, 1B James Loney and two players to be named later from the Dodgers for 1B Adrian Gonzalez, RHP Josh Beckett, OF Carl Crawford, INF Nick Punto and cash considerations.

DeJesus has posted a pedestrian .295/.333/.415 batting line with three home runs and 33 RBI in 60 games this season at the Triple-A level. The 25-year-old from Puerto Rico can play all around the field but is doubtful to ever become an offensive threat in the major leagues.

Sat, Aug 25, 2012 05:10:00 PM

Ivan DeJesus Jr. - 2B - Pirates

Dodgers optioned INF Ivan DeJesus Jr. to Triple-A Albuquerque.

He was sent down in order to make room for Scott Van Slyke on the active roster. DeJesus Jr. is hitting .273 (9-for-33) in 23 games with the Dodgers this season and should return to the major league level later this summer.

Thu, Jun 28, 2012 06:41:00 PM

Ivan DeJesus Jr. - 2B - Pirates

Ivan De Jesus Jr. hit a two-run double in the top of the ninth to lead the Dodgers to an 8-7 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

De Jesus didn't start, but he had a game-tying sac fly as a pinch-hitter in the seventh and then the go-ahead double in the ninth. One would hope it might earn him a start in Wednesday's game. De Jesus doesn't have much of a bat, but he is a fine defender, especially at second base. Odds are he'll get a start and Adam Kennedy will sit against the left-hander in the series finale.

Ivan DeJesus Jr. - 2B - Pirates

Dodgers recalled INF Ivan DeJesus Jr. from Triple-A Albuquerque.

DeJesus suffered a torn muscle on his left side in spring training but is now healthy. He'll function as a utility man as long as Mark Ellis is sidelined.

Ivan DeJesus Jr. - 2B - Pirates

Ivan DeJesus Jr. (oblique) has begun a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque.

DeJesus suffered a torn muscle on his left side in spring training and had been rehabbing at the Dodgers' spring training complex. He'll figures to be optioned to Triple-A once healthy.

Ivan DeJesus Jr. - 2B - Pirates

Dodgers placed INF Ivan DeJesus Jr. on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 26, with a torn oblique.

DeJesus tore his right oblique in mid-March and is likely to miss the first month of the 2012 season. The 24-year-old middle infielder will presumably be sent to Triple-A Albuquerque once he's back to full health.

Wed, Apr 4, 2012 10:54:00 PM

Ivan DeJesus Jr. - 2B - Pirates

Ivan DeJesus Jr. is scheduled to take ground balls Wednesday for the first time since straining his left oblique muscle on March 17.

DeJesus is making progress, but he's unlikely to be a realistic option for the Opening Day roster at this point. The 24-year-old infielder batted .188 (6-for-32) in 17 games with the Dodgers last season.

Ivan DeJesus Jr. - 2B - Pirates

An MRI taken this week on Ivan DeJesus' sore left side revealed a torn oblique muscle.

DeJesus could be out for a month or longer if the tear is severe. The 24-year-old infielder batted .188/.235/.188 in 35 plate appearances last year in the majors.

Ivan DeJesus Jr. - 2B - Pirates

Dodgers optioned INF Ivan DeJesus to Triple-A Albuquerque.

DeJesus has been back and forth between the minors and majors several times already this season. He'll be recalled again if there's another injury on the Dodgers' infield.

Mon, Jun 6, 2011 04:02:00 PM

Ivan DeJesus Jr. - 2B - Pirates

Dodgers recalled INF Ivan DeJesus Jr. from Triple-A Albuquerque.

He's batted just .194/.242/.194 over 34 plate appearances in two stints with the Dodgers this season but has fared a little better at Triple-A, posting a .268/.337/.305 line. He'll provide middle infield depth with Rafael Furcal landing on the DL.

Dodgers optioned INF Ivan DeJesus Jr. to Triple-A Albuquerque.

DeJesus has batted .194/.242/.194 over 34 plate appearances in two stints with the Dodgers this season. He's better off playing regularly in the minor leagues.

LF	1	Starling Marte Sidelined Starling Marte went 2-for-5 with a triple and a run scored as the Pirates beat the Reds 4-0 on Tuesday. Marte was the catalyst of the Pirates offense on Tuesday. The triple led off the game and was the Pirates' only extra-base hit of the night. He later scored before singling in a run of his own in the seventh inning. Marte also stole a base in the game, his 21st of the season. Jun 18
	2	Alex Presley
CF	1	Andrew McCutchen
RF	1	Travis Snider
	2	Jose Tabata D.L. Jose Tabata (oblique) has been hitting off a tee and taking underhand toss. Assuming he progresses on schedule, Tabata is slated to begin a rehab assignment on June 21. He should rejoin the Pirates before the end of the month. Jun 13
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	A.J. Burnett D.L. A.J. Burnett said Friday that he has a Grade 1 tear in his right calf. Burnett, who was placed on the disabled list Thursday, said he currently can't put any weight on his leg. There's no clear timetable for his return, but the veteran right-hander said that he hopes it's "not a six-week thing." The Pirates and fantasy owners are hoping the game, but it doesn't sound like he'll be back when he's first eligible. Jun 14
	2	Wandy Rodriguez D.L. Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said Monday that Wandy Rodriguez (forearm) "felt good" while throwing off the mound Monday. It's not clear what the next step will be, but it could be enough for the Pirates to send him out on a rehab start. Rodriguez has been sidelined since June 5 with left forearm tightness. Jun 17
	3	James McDonald D.L. James McDonald (shoulder) might be moved to the bullpen when he is activated from the disabled list. Gerrit Cole's promotion and Charlie Morton's return created a potential logjam in the Pittsburgh rotation and McDonald is probably going to have to be the odd man out. The 28-year-old righty owns a 5.76 ERA and 1.65 WHIP in 29 2/3 innings this season. He is on the 15-day DL currently because of inflammation in his shoulder. Jun 17
	4	Francisco Liriano
	5	Gerrit Cole
	6	Jeff Locke
	7	Brandon Cumpton
	8	Charlie Morton
	9	Jeff Karstens D.L. Jeff Karstens (shoulder) underwent rotator cuff and labrum surgery on Friday. Karstens will be shut down for a minimum of 10-12 weeks as he recovers from the injury. He had been aiming to join the Pirates' starting rotation in early June, but is now unlikely to return this season. Jun 8
