Yoshi Tsutsugo sitting again for Pirates on Thursday
Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Yoshi Tsutsugo is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener against right-hander Zack Wheeler and the Philadelphia Phillies.
What It Means:
Tsutsugo is sitting for a second straight game versus a right-hander. Cal Mitchell will take over as the Pirates' designated hitter and bat sixth.
Mitchell has a $2,100 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 5.5 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Pirates’ implied total (3.22) is second-lowest out of the 16 teams on Thursday's main slate.
