Yoshi Tsutsugo taking seat Tuesday afternoon for Pirates
Pittsburgh Pirates designated hitter Yoshi Tsutsugo is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday afternoon against right-hander Keegan Thompson and the Chicago Cubs.
What It Means:
The Pirates are giving Tsutsugo the afternoon off after he went 2-for-15 with three RBI and six strikeouts over the last four games. Ben Gamel will take over as the designated hitter while Greg Allen enters the lineup to play left field and hit sixth.
Gamel has a $6,500 salary on Tuesday's one-game afternoon slate and numberFire’s models project him for 10.3 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Pirates’ implied total (3.70) is seventh-lowest in the majors on Tuesday.
