Pirates' Francisco Cervelli back in lineup for Friday's game
Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli is back in the starting lineup for Friday's divisional matchup with the Chicago Cubs.
What It Means:
Since returning from a concussion last week, manager Clint Hurdle has been managing Cervelli's days in and out of the lineup. After an off day yesterday, he's back on Friday, hitting seventh against Chicago's Eddie Butler. That means Elias Diaz will take a seat on the Pirates' bench.
Since his return, Cervelli is hitless in 8 plate appearances, but he does have 2 walks and a run scored. Today, we project him for 8.5 FanDuel points against the Cubs.
