Impact Vogelbach started the past seven games, including two starts against left-handed pitchers, but will receive Sunday off with southpaw Justin Steele on the mound for Chicago.

Bryan Reynolds will serve as the designated hitter for the series finale, with Jake Marisnick set to roam center field.

Sits against another lefty Vogelbach will remain on the bench Tuesday against the Cubs.
Impact Vogelbach led off and served as the designated hitter against a pair of righties to open the season but has now sat against two straight southpaws, including Tuesday's starter Drew Smyly. He owns a career wRC+ of 46 against lefties compared to a 117 wRC+ against righties, so that usage pattern seems likely to continue. Michael Chavis will be the designated hitter this time around.

Impact MLB's adoption of a universal designated hitter likely played a major part in Vogelbach earning a spot on the Pirates' 40-man roster, as the 29-year-old has historically been a liability defensively even at first base. With the DH now in place in the National League, Vogelbach should have a clear path to an everyday spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching, provided he can keep his strikeouts in check. For his career, the lefty-hitting Vogelbach has been a well above league-average performer versus righties, slashing .228/.357/.442 (117 wRC+).
