What's Happening?
Jack Suwinski, a player for the Pittsburgh Pirates, is not in the lineup for the game against the Cincinnati Reds. Suwinski had started five of the last six games against right-handed pitchers but will sit out as the Reds' Hunter Greene takes the mound. Tommy Pham will replace Suwinski in right field and bat sixth for the Pirates.
Why It's Important?
Suwinski's absence from the lineup could impact the Pirates' strategy against the Reds. His recent performance against right-handed pitchers has been a key factor in the team's lineup decisions. The decision to bench Suwinski may reflect strategic adjustments by the Pirates as they aim to optimize their performance against Greene.
