Max Moroff

Max Moroff out of the Pirates' lineup

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Max Moroff is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's home game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

What It Means:

Moroff drew a spot start at third base on Tuesday, but he's back on the bench tonight while David Freese returns to the lineup starting at the hot corner.

Moroff is slashing an ugly .194/.276/.311 through 47 games in 2017, and numberFire's models project him to bat .182 in a small sample over the remainder of the season.
