The Pirates have agreed to re-sign outfielder Kyler Fedko to a two-year minor league deal, per Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Fedko underwent knee surgery in August to repair a torn ACL, MCL, and LCL, so he’ll be rehabbing for a good portion of the 2027 season.
The 27-year-old Fedko debuted with the Twins this year after spending parts of six seasons working through the minor leagues. He spent about a month in the Majors starting in mid-June, appearing in 14 games and taking 19 trips to the plate. Fedko walked twice and got his first RBI on a sacrifice fly, though he did not record his first big league hit. The Twins optioned him to Triple-A St. Paul on July 10th. He batted .274/.362/.545 at that level with a 128 wRC+ until the aforementioned triple knee injury ended Fedko’s season in early August. Minnesota released him on September 1st, and the Pirates picked him up three days later.
The two-year deal gives Fedko some continuity as he continues his rehab. Meanwhile, the Pirates get a no-risk depth outfielder to stash in the minors for the 2028 season (late 2027 if Fedko progresses quickly). This year was Fedko’s second at the Triple-A level. In 2025, he took 187 plate appearances for St. Paul after being promoted from Double-A in August. He batted .268/.353/.476 with a 115 wRC+, striking out at around average rates and showing penchants for power, speed, and getting on base. The latter three remained on display this year. Fedko knocked 17 home runs, stole ten bases, and walked at an 11.1% clip in 75 games for St. Paul before the injury.
The fact that Fedko made it to the Majors at all is a nice story considering he was just a 12th-round pick by Minnesota in 2021. For now, he’ll continue rehabbing in the Pirates organization while working toward a big league return some time in 2028. He’s obviously lower on the depth chart than Bryan Reynolds, Oneil Cruz, and Esmerlyn Valdez, all of whom are under contract through at least that year. Fedko’s recent minor league track record gives him some intrigue as a depth option, though.
