Jordan Luplow a late addition to Pirates' Saturday lineup
Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman/outfielder Jordan Luplow will start in place of Andrew McCutchen (foot) on Saturday night.
What It Means:
As the Pirates get set to play the Washington Nationals, they will do so without McCutchen, who was a late scratch with foot discomfort. In his place, Starling Marte will move to center field as Luplow plays left and hits cleanup for the Pirates.
Luplow, a rookie, has managed 3 home runs and a .278 wOBA to date. He costs $2,400 and will take his place in the middle of a Pirates order implied for just 2.75 runs against Max Scherzer.
