Stallings was called up to the majors for the first time on June 19, 2016. Stallings recorded his first major league hit, a double, on June 21 against the San Francisco Giants. He was designated for assignment on July 5, and outrighted to back to Indianapolis after clearing waivers. In 80 games for Indianapolis, Stallings hit .214/.252/.350 with six home runs and 28 RBI. Stallings was recalled again by the Pirates on September 13. On September 23, he had a game-winning RBI single in the Pirates' 6–5 win over the Washington Nationals. Stallings was removed from the 40-man roster and sent outright to Triple-A Indianapolis on November 2.

Stallings entered the 2019 season out of minor league options. He was outrighted off the roster on May 17, but was promoted back to the major leagues on May 26 when Francisco Cervelli went on the injured list.
In 2020, Stallings batted .248/.326/.376 for the Pirates with three home runs and 18 RBIs. He had the slowest average baserunning speed from home plate to first base of all major leaguers, at 5.11 seconds.
