\n

There\u2019s a help wanted sign outside of PNC Park.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

No, actually it might be best framed as help required after the Pirates lost three consecutive games to the Phillies over the weekend, didn\u2019t score a run in the final two and optioned Nick Yorke to Triple-A Indianapolis following Sunday\u2019s 6-0 loss.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

With Ryan O\u2019Hearn out for roughly four weeks due to a right quad strain, the Pirates are on the verge of adding at least one bat and maybe two, depending on how they want to approach right field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The good news is that there are options. Here\u2019s a look at a few different routes they could go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The Password was easily and emphatically retrieved last Tuesday when Garcia officially returned from a few weeks off due to lower-back tightness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In his first official game with Triple-A Indianapolis following a rehab assignment, Garcia went 5 for 5 with three home runs last Tuesday. He also hit .364 with three more homers in six rehab games with Low-A Bradenton.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Garcia, a 23-year-old Venezuelan acquired this past December for Johan Oviedo, has clearly been seeing it well. And this follows a Spring Training where Garcia made an hugely positive impression on the Pirates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Garcia led all Pirates players in hits (15), amassed a 1.058 OPS and showed off his speed and defense, which stood out to manager Don Kelly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been really impressive,\u201d Kelly said in March. \u201cHis swing decisions have trended up. I think his speed is surprising for a guy who, when you see him, he\u2019s strong and stocky.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cBut he gets going really well in the outfield. His outfield defense has been good. I think he\u2019s handled himself really well in the opportunities that he\u2019s gotten. He hasn\u2019t tried to do too much. You see the bat speed. It\u2019s electric.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It was understandable why Garcia didn\u2019t break camp with the Major League club because O\u2019Hearn, Bryan Reynolds and Oneil Cruz were ahead of him on the depth chart. The Pirates like Jake Mangum as a depth\/fourth option.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

But if there are regular reps available, Garcia \u2013 who hit .271 with 18 home runs and 58 RBIs in 81 games for Triple-A Worcester in Boston’s system last year \u2013 put himself firmly on that first cut.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Through the first five or six weeks of the Minor League season, few hitters were hotter than Simon, who hit .388 with a 1.047 OPS in April. Simon also has the most Major League experience of anyone on this list, logging 27 games for the Pirates and Marlins a season ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The problem was that those 27 games weren’t terribly productive. Simon hit .234 with a .572 OPS and was worth -1.2 wins above replacement, per Baseball Reference, before he was lost for the season in August when he dislocated his shoulder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

But Simon has been one of the Indians’ best hitters this season, weathering cooler May and still managing to hit .342 with a .937 OPS in 39 games. That includes 11 doubles, a triple and four home runs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Is it who fans would be excited to see? Probably not. But it is an option.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The third candidate might be the most intriguing, largely because of the streaks he has enjoyed of late. And Valdez seems to be heating up at the right time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Valdez collected nine hits in six games during last week\u2019s series at Louisville, including three doubles, two homers on Friday and a total of six RBIs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

A 22-year-old the Pirates signed as an international free agent out of the Dominican Republic in January 2021, Valdez has come on really strong of late.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He hit .286 with 26 home runs and 86 RBIs for High-A Greensboro and Double-A Altoona last season before exploding in the Arizona Fall League. Valdez posted a .368 average and 1.355 OPS in 19 games with the Salt River Rafters, becoming the AFL Offensive Player of the Year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

This year with Indy, Valdez has hit .250 with an .854 OPS that includes 10 doubles, a team-high eight home runs and 26 RBIs in 44 games while also walking 32 times compared to 40 strikeouts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cThe last two years we\u2019ve seen [Valdez] blossom,\u201d Pirates director of coaching and player development Michael Chernow said on the Pirates Insider Show Sunday. \u201cHe\u2019s always shown us the ability to hit. Probably more impact over barrel early on in his career. He showed up last year in a much better spot physically. Really took that seriously. Obviously went off in Greensboro, settled into Altoona nicely, then had a fantastic fall league and hit the ground running in Indy this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cHe certainly has a ton of impact. But the mature at-bats that he\u2019s taking, the conviction in his approach has really stabilized. He\u2019s going up there with intent, looking to do damage and staying stubborn to that approach, which is a really good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It’s all part of a plan, Valdez said at PiratesFest. He was hoping to make his MLB debut during the 2026 season and was intent on doing everything possible to make that happen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“I feel like I’m ready,” Valdez said. “I’m putting the work in. If the team decides to give me the opportunity, I’m going to be ready whenever they call my name.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

With a new for offense and seemingly a vacancy in the outfield, it would make sense for the Pirates to see if Garcia, Valdez or maybe even both could carry over their spring success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
