The Pittsburgh Pirates lost their right fielder due to injury in Game 2 of a Sunday doubleheader with the New York Yankees.
Jose Tabata just left with an apparent leg strain of some sort. Too bad the Pirates don't have anyone in Triple-A worth calling up.

The prospect Pouliot is referring to is of course Gregory Polanco, who is destroying the baseball in the minors.
Tabata is batting .262 with eight RBIs in 105 at-bats. Travis Snider is into the game in right.
*Update 5:52 p.m. ET*
The Pirates have updated Tabata's injury status.
Jose Tabata was removed from the game today with tightness is his right hamstring.
