Sean Rodriguez heads back to Pirates' bench on Friday

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder/outfielder Sean Rodriguez is absent from the club's lineup Friday night against the Cincinnati Reds.

What It Means:

Rodriguez is being replaced in right field by the lefty-hitting John Jaso. He opposes righty Luis Castillo from the sixth spot in tonight's order.

For Rodriguez, we project him for 4 hits, including 1 home run, along with 2 RBI in 22 plate appearances the rest of the year.
