Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Jared Triolo, Pittsburgh Pirates utility infielder, has drawn consecutive starts in May 2026 after returning from a knee injury. He went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a walk against the Rockies on May 14, and has been deployed at multiple positions including first base, third base, and right field (his first professional start in the outfield). Triolo is valued primarily for his strong defensive versatility across all infield positions, though he has struggled offensively throughout his career. He was recently activated from the injured list and is getting regular playing time due to injuries to other Pirates players.
