Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Jordy Mercer (arm) is out of Sunday's lineup versus the Cincinnati Reds.
Mercer was lifted from Saturday's matchup against the Reds after being hit on the forearm. Kevin Newman will start at shortstop and bat eighth versus Cincinnati right-hander Sal Romano in Sunday's finale.
Mercer is averaging 7.3 FanDuel points in 117 games this season, while slashing .251/.315/.381 with 6 home runs, 39 RBI, 43 runs scored, and 2 steals across 436 plate appearances.
