4 years agoPittsburgh Pirates third baseman Phillip Evans went 3-for-4 with one RBI in the Pirates' 4-3 loss to the Cubs on Sunday. Evans got the start after Ke'Bryan Hayes was placed on the injured list with wrist inflammation earlier in the day. He had played in just 46 career games over four seasons entering Sunday, but he made the team's Opening Day roster after a solid showing this spring in which he slashed .361/.442/.389 with eight RBI, a steal, five walks and five strikeouts in 15 games. Evans will likely get plenty of playing time now with Hayes out, and while he won't have the same fantasy potential as Hayes, he can be a solid add for now in OBP leagues.--Michael Grennell - RotoBaller
