Jordy Mercer dropped to eighth in Pirates' lineup

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Jordy Mercer has fallen to eighth in the batting order as the Pirates getting ready for Wednesday night's game against the Philadelphia Phillies.

What It Means:

Mercer goes from seventh to eighth for tonight's game against starter Ben Lively.

It's somewhat surprising to see Mercer down so low in the lineup as he's hitting .293 with 6 home runs and a .342 against right-handed pitching this season. At $2,500, he's projected for 7.1 FanDuel points this evening.
