Ke'Bryan Hayes back in Pirates' leadoff spot Monday
Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Ke'Bryan Hayes is back in the starting lineup for Monday afternoon's makeup game against left-hander Reiver Sanmartin and the Cincinnati Reds.
Hayes was held out of Sunday's lineup, but he went 2-for-2 with a double, a pair of RBI, and a run scored off the bench. It was his eighth multi-hit game in September. He is back in the leadoff spot on Monday and replacing Hoy Park on third base. Cole Tucker is dropping down to sixth from the top of the order.
