In his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pirates-2-players-fans-fed-up-2023" rel="noopener">most recent appearance</a> in a game, he went 1-for-5 with an RBI and a strikeout in a 4-3 loss to the Miami Marlins on the road on June 24.</p><p>Hayes — drafted by the Pirates in 2015,  hasn’t been doing particularly well at the plate this season, but he at least carries a higher batting average (.254) than he did in 2022 when he hit .244. So far this year, Hayes also has just a .290 on-base percentage and a .397 slugging percentage to go with five home runs and 32 RBI. His <a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hayeske01.shtml" rel="noopener">strikeout rate is slightly down</a> at 19.8 percent but his walk rate has also decreased to just 5.0 percent from last year’s 21.8 K% and 8.6 BB%.</p><p>The hope for Ke’Bryan Hayes and the Pirates is that the infielder will be able to find his way back to action <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-all-star-game-2023-biggest-roster-snubs" rel="noopener">before the All-Star break</a>. The Dodgers series will last until Thursday with a three-game set coming after that on the road against the Arizona Diamondbacks to cap the first-half schedule of the Pirates, who are currently occupying the third spot in the National League Central division — behind the Milwaukee Brewers and the Cincinnati Reds.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
