2 years agoPittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) could return from the injured list as early as Tuesday. General manager Ben Cherington told reporters on Sunday that the team is "optimistic" that Hayes will be activated on Tuesday, which would represent the minimum stay for the 25-year-old. Hayes suffered a mid-back muscle strain on August 13 but has already been running the bases in pre-game drills so it doesn't appear all that serious. He's slashing .251/.323/.358 with six home runs, 35 RBI, and 13 stolen bases over 391 at-bats on the season.--Jon Mathisen - RotoBaller
