Liover Peguero sitting for Pirates Wednesday afternoon

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Liover Peguero is not in the lineup on Wednesday afternoon against left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez and the Detroit Tigers.

What It Means:

Peguero hit a two-yard tater on Tuesday night, but he will move to the bench for the matinee while Nick Gonzales starts on second base and bats seventh. Alika Williams will start at shortstop again and hit eighth.
