Pirates' Canaan Smith-Njigba sitting versus lefty Monday

The Pittsburgh Pirates did not list Canaan Smith-Njigba as a starter for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

What It Means:

Smith-Njigba will start Monday's game on the bench while Connor Joe starts against left-hander Kyle Freeland. Joe will hit fifth and cover right field against the Rockies.

Our models project Smith-Njigba for 50 more plate appearances this season, with 1 home run, 4 runs, 3 RBI, and a .255 batting average.
