Kevin Newman taking seat Sunday for Pirates
Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Kevin Newman is not starting in Sunday afternoon's series finale versus right-hander Jeff Hoffman and the Colorado Rockies.
What It Means:
Newman appears to be getting a breather after going 3-for-5 with a leadoff homer, 2 RBI, and 3 runs scored in a lopsided win over the Rockies on Saturday. Erik Gonzalez is covering shortstop while Adam Frazier handles leadoff duty.
numberFire's models expect Newman to record 1 home run, 7 RBI, 2 steals, and 9 runs scored over the rest of the season.
