What's Happening?
Cam Devanney, a player for the Pittsburgh Pirates, will not be in the lineup for the team's game against the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. Since being recalled in late August, Devanney has primarily played at third base. However, for the series finale, Jared Triolo will take over third base duties, while Liover Peguero will play shortstop. The Pirates are aiming to avoid a series sweep by the Orioles.
Why It's Important?
The decision to bench Devanney could impact the Pirates' strategy as they attempt to prevent a sweep by the Orioles. Devanney's absence from the lineup may affect the team's defensive and offensive dynamics, given his recent role as a regular starter. This move highlights the team's need to adapt and possibly test different player combinations to improve their performance. The outcome of this game could influence the Pirates' standing in the league and their approach to future games.
