3 years agoPittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes (ankle) will take some live batting practice on Saturday. His ankle is feeling better, and everything looks good for Hayes to be available on Opening Day. Hayes said he would've tried to play through the injury if it was the regular season. The 25-year-old third baseman ran at 50% intensity on Thursday and also took ground balls, so he's clearly feeling much better after suffering a minor right ankle sprain during a workout last weekend. Hayes plays for one of the worst teams in baseball, but he's a young up-and-coming third baseman who hit .257/.316/.373 with six home runs, 38 RBI, 49 runs and nine steals in 396 plate appearances over 96 games in his second MLB season. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 14 fantasy third baseman.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
