The Pittsburgh Pirates are expected to place first baseman/catcher Endy Rodriguez on the 10-day injured list due to a laceration on his right index finger, sustained during a game against Washington. Henry Davis finished the game in his place, and with starting catcher Joey Bart day-to-day with back soreness, the team may face challenges if Bart cannot return quickly, as they lack other catchers on the 40-man roster. Rodriguez has primarily played first base this season but has struggled offensively, hitting .178 with no home runs over 50 plate appearances.
