Michael Perez on Pittsburgh bench in Wednesday matinee

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Michael Perez is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Ryan Feltner and the Colorado Rockies.

What It Means:

Perez is taking a seat after going a combined 0-for-6 in the first two games of the series. Tyler Heineman is starting behind the plate for Pittsburgh and batting ninth.

numberFire’s models project Heineman for 7.4 FanDuel points on Wednesday, and he has a $2,000 salary.
