On the field, the 25-year-old has spent time across the diamond, including stints a first base, third base, and right field while slotting in as the DH on three occasions. He owns a perfect fielding percentage at first base and right field while committing three errors at the hot corner.
Tirotta featured in the second game of yesterday&#8217;s double-header against the St. Paul Saints and the right-handed batter did well at the plate, collecting a hit through two at-bats while collecting a walk as well. His knock came off an inside sinker off veteran reliever Nick Wittgren, a 91 MPH offering that he deposited into right field for a single. He played first base for Buffalo and posted a clean sheet on the field.
In a corresponding move, the Bisons placed Damiano Palmegiani on the seven-day IL, the first injury stint in the 24-year-old&#8217;s career.
After a dominant 2023 season, the right-handed batter started the campaign in Buffalo and is trying to find his power stroke after a slow start to the season. Through 145 at-bats, the Vauxhall Jets alum owns a .228/.325/.414 slash line with six doubles and seven home runs to the tune of a .739 OPS.
