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