Greg Allen - Sitting MondayAllen will sit Monday against Atlanta.

Rodolfo Castro - Hitting well since returnCastro went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Sunday against the Reds.

ImpactCastro delivered an RBI double in the first inning, and he now has consecutive performances with multiple hits and an RBI. Since being recalled on Aug. 9, Castro is hitting .326 with two homers, three RBI and three runs scored across 43 at-bats. Most notably, he's striking out at only a 17.4 percent clip in that span. Ke'Bryan Hayes' (back) impending return will take away Castro's path to playing time at third base, but Castro is also capable of playing both second base and shortstop.

Tucupita Marcano - Drives in twoMarcano went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Reds.

ImpactMarcano remains a fairly regular presence in the Pirates' lineup, and his start Sunday was notable because it came with lefty Mike Minor on the mound. Marcano delivered a two-RBI double in the sixth inning, his third extra-base hit in his last seven games. Overall, he's still hitting only .221/.280/.336 across 136 plate appearances on the season.

Aristides Aquino - Moves into platoon roleAquino is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Philadelphia.

ImpactThe righty-hitting Aquino will be on the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher for the third time in four games. Aquino appears to have moved into the short side of a platoon in the corner outfield with the lefty-hitting TJ Friedl.

AUGUST 22, 2022•ROTOWIRE

Michael Papierski - Sharing work with RominePapierski is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Philadelphia.

ImpactPapierski and Austin Romine may be moving into a timeshare at catcher, as the two have now alternated turns behind the dish over the past six contests. The Reds' decision to scale back Papierski's playing time doesn't come as a major surprise, given the extent to which he's struggled to produce any meaningful offense since being claimed off waivers from the Giants in late June. Over 34 games in Cincinnati, Papierski is slashing .159/.242/.207.
