Pirates Nick Gonzales Returns To Active Roster

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Nick Gonzales was back in the Pittsburgh Pirates starting lineup on Tuesday night for the first time since breaking his left ankle while hitting a home run on opening day in Miami on March 27. The second baseman was activated from the 60-day injured list before Tuesday’s series opener of a three-game series with the visiting Houston Astros. Gonzales had been sidelined with a non-displaced fracture. The 26-year-old Gonzales played nine rehab games with Triple-A Indianapolis and hit .194. In other roster moves, right-handed reliever Kyle Nicolas was recalled from Triple-A, and infielder/outfielder Nick Solak was designated for assignment.
