Pirates recalled INF Yamaico Navarro from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Neil Walker suffered a dislocated right pinkie finger on Wednesday night, so Navarro will provide some insurance at second base. The 24-year-old was hitting .275/.359/.490 with eight home runs, 32 RBI, nine stolen bases and an .849 OPS over 231 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this year.

Pirates optioned INF Yamaico Navarro to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Navarro has struggled as a bench player this season, batting just .178 (8-for-45) with one homer and a .499 OPS in 25 games. Jordy Mercer has been called up to replace him on the active roster.

Yamaico Navarro ripped his first homer of the season, a two-run shot, in Monday's win over the Braves.

He also singled and drove in a run with a fielder's choice. It's a nice showing for Navarro after he started the season just 1-for-13 at the dish. The utility player will continue to see sporadic playing time and is someone fantasy owners can ignore.

X-rays came back negative on Yamaico Navarro's left forearm.

Navarro was diagnosed with a left forearm contusion after being hit by a pitch during Tuesday's game, but he should be fine. The 24-year-old is batting .341 (15-for-44) this spring and should be an active member of the Pirates' bench this season.

Yamaico Navarro was sent back to Bradenton for X-rays after being hit on the forearm with a pitch during Tuesday's game.

Navarro was initially diagnosed with a left forearm contusion, but we should know more about his status on Wednesday. The 24-year-old is batting .341 (15-for-44) this spring and should get plenty of playing time in the Pirates' infield this season.

Yamaico Navarro went 4-for-4 with an RBI in the Pirates' 9-7 defeat of the Astros on Sunday.

With a .366 average this spring, Navarro has likely nailed down a utility job. He doesn't have the power or speed to be of a lot of use in NL-only leagues, but he could get quite a bit of playing time if he's the primary backup at second, third and shortstop.
Sun, Mar 25, 2012 05:13:00 PM

Yamaico Navarro went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI as the Pirates topped the Yankees 7-4 on Tuesday.

The Royals incorrectly deduced that Navarro was the most expendable player on their 40-man roster back in December and sent him to the Pirates for a couple of non-prospects. He's looking like a good bet to win a job as a utilityman, and since he can play all over the infield and the outfield corners, he might have some fantasy value in NL-only leagues once injuries strike.
