Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Rodolfo Castro is not starting in Friday's lineup versus the St. Louis Cardinals.
Castro will rest at home after Ji-Hwan Bae was positioned at second base, Jack Suwinski was shifted to center field, and Josh Palacios was aligned in right.
Per Baseball Savant on 94 batted balls this season, Castro has produced a 10.6% barrel rate and a .222 expected average.
