John Jaso not in Pirates' Saturday lineup

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/outfielder John Jaso is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds.

What It Means:

Jaso got the start in right field Friday night, but he'll have a seat as rookie Jordan Luplow takes over in right. Luplow is hitting out of the seventh spot against Tyler Mahle.

Our models project Jaso for a .245 batting average, with 2 home runs, 7 RBI, and 6 runs scored over 56 plate appearances remaining this season.
