Sean Rodriguez

Pirates' Sean Rodriguez returns to bench on Thursday

Pittsburgh Pirates utility man Sean Rodriguez is back in the starting lineup as his team takes on the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday night.

What It Means:

Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with two walks, a home run and two RBI in a start on Wednesday. However, he'll turn left field back over to Corey Dickerson, who will hit fifth against starter Jake Arrieta.

Our models project Rodriguez to hit .208 with 5 home runs and 20 RBI over the rest of the 2018 season.
