John Jaso

John Jaso not in the lineup Friday for Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/outfielder John Jaso is not in the lineup Friday.

What It Means:

Jaso saw action in left field on Wednesday as the Pirates gave David Freese a day off, moved Josh Harrison to third base, and Adam Frazier to second. With Freese back in the lineup, Jaso will return to the bench on Friday.

Our models project Jaso for 230 plate appearances, a .270 batting average, and 26 runs scored the rest of the year.
