Pirates leave Michael Perez off Sunday lineup

The Pittsburgh Pirates did not list Michael Perez as a starter in their lineup for Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants.

What It Means:

Perez will sit Sunday's game out while Jacob Stallings takes over behind home plate and bats fifth in the rotation.

Our models project Perez to make 89 more plate appearances this season, with 3 home runs, 8 runs, 11 RBI, and a .185 batting average.
