Francisco Cervelli

Francisco Cervelli (wrist) out of Pirates' lineup Thursday

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli (wrist) is not in the lineup on Thursday as the Pirates take on the San Diego Padres.

What It Means:

While no diagnosis has been revealed, Cervelli was forced out of Wednesday's game with discomfort in his left wrist, and he is scheduled to see a doctor Thursday. Eric Fryer will start at catcher in his place.

Across 248 appearances at the plate this season, Cervelli is slashing .263/.371/.302, with a .309 wOBA that represents the lowest mark since his rookie year.
