Max Moroff

Max Moroff in the Pirates' lineup, batting leadoff on Monday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Max Moroff is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

What It Means:

Moroff will start at second base and bat leadoff against Rockies' southpaw Kyle Freeland, while Josh Harrison moves to left field and Adam Frazier gets the night off.

Moroff has only 21 big league plate appearances to his name, but he hit for a solid .267/.366/.633 slash against lefties in 71 Triple-A plate appearances this season, puts him in a pretty good spot tonight.
