Pearce Homer-less at AAA

Pirates OF Steve Pearce hasn’t homered through eight games with Triple-A Indianapolis. The slugging outfielder is hitting just .206 (7-for-34) with zero runs, three doubles and four RBI. Pearce had quite a spring at the dish, but since Adam LaRoche is manning first base, the team opted to shift Pearce to right field. However, the move came to late and Pearce needed more time in the minors to work on his fielding. But since Xavier Nady is off to a nice start and doesn’t appear on the trade market at this time, Pearce will remain in the minors until an injury befalls a starter. He remains just a NL-only and long-term keeper stashee. (CBS Sports)
