Outfielder Dominic Fletcher is back with the Pirates on a minor league agreement, per his MLB.com transactions tracker. Fletcher was released in early July. He was in the lineup for Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.
Fletcher exercised an opt-out in his contract on July 1, reported Robert Murray of FanSided. Pittsburgh declined to add the veteran outfielder to the roster and released him. After about two weeks on the market, Fletcher returned to the organization.
The 28-year-old Fletcher played a dozen games with the White Sox last season. He hit .219 with a home run and a steal in 34 plate appearances. Fletcher played all three outfield spots in his brief time with Chicago. He spent most of the year at Triple-A and settled for another minor league deal heading into 2026.
Fletcher is having a big season with Indianapolis. He’s slashed .288/.379/.511 through 42 games heading into Saturday. The outfielder has popped eight home runs and stolen two bases. Fletcher has mostly played center field, but he’s had plenty of reps in the corners as well.
While he’s struggled to hit as a big leaguer (67 wRC+ in 377 PAs), Fletcher has shown the ability to contribute with the glove. He’s posted 13 Defensive Runs Saved in 872 2/3 career innings on the grass. The majority of that production has come in right field. Pittsburgh could use some defensive help in center field given the struggles of injured star Oneil Cruz, but other than that, they’re pretty set in the outfield. The club ranks in the top 10 in OPS at all three spots.
