Jack Suwinski - Page 7 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Slugs fifth homer Suwinski went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk and two runs scored Wednesday against the Rockies.

Impact Suwinksi went yard in the sixth inning to record his fifth home run of the season and knot the game at 5-5. He now has three home runs across his last six starts, though he has only four hits across 20 at-bats in that span. Suwinski is hitting only .188/.244/.413 across his first 86 plate appearances in the majors, and he could be at risk of losing some playing time in favor of Cal Mitchell.

Out of lineup Tuesday Suwinski is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

Impact The 23-year-old will take a seat with left-hander Kyle Freeland starting for Colorado. Cal Mitchell, who was promoted from Triple-A Indianapolis earlier Tuesday, will start in right field in his MLB debut and could cut into Suwinski's playing time going forward.

Smacks third long ball Suwinski went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Cubs.

Impact Suwinski led off the fifth inning with his third long ball of the season. He entered the game with just one hit across his last 18 at-bats while striking out at a 42.1 percent clip. Suwinski has retained the starting job in right field despite his struggles, though he could be at risk of losing playing time -- and perhaps a demotion -- if his production doesn't improve.

Slugs second homer Suwinski went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Impact Suwinski took Tommy Kahnle yard in the sixth inning to record his second home run of the season and of his career. After failing to homer in his first 32 at-bats, Suwinski has now gone deep in two of his last three games. He also remains a near everyday player, and he's managed a respectable .238/.304/.429 line-- good for a 113 wRC+ -- across 46 plate appearances.

Records first career homer Suwinski went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Monday against the Dodgers.

Impact Suwinski went yard in the eighth inning to record his first career home run. Since being recalled from Double-A Altoona on April 26, Suwinski has taken over primary duties in right field in Pittsburgh. He hasn't looked overmatched as measured by a 15.8 percent strikeout rate, though he has only a .596 OPS with two extra-base hits.

Not starting matinee Suwinski isn't starting the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Reds.

Impact Suwinski was on the bench for the second game of Wednesday's twin bill, and he'll be out of the lineup for a second straight matchup. Ben Gamel will shift to right field while Jake Marisnick starts in left.

Sits for second game of twin bill Suwinski is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Tigers.

Impact The rookie will retreat to the bench for the first time since being called up from Double-A Altoona on April 26. He went 0-for-2 in the Pirates' 3-2 loss in Game 1, dropping his slash line to .200/.200/.200 through his first seven big-league games.

Tallies pair of hits Suwinski went 2-for-3 with a run scored Sunday against the Padres.

Impact Suwinski has been in the lineup for every game since being recalled from Double-A Altoona, primarily batting sixth and playing in right field. He tallied the first multi-hit game of his career Sunday, delivering a pair of singles while also coming around to score in the seventh inning. Suwinski has only a .217 batting average and has yet to record a walk or an extra-base hit, but he has managed to make plenty of contact by maintaining just a 13.0 percent strikeout rate across the first 23 plate appearances of his big-league career.

Third straight start Suwinski will start in right field and bat sixth Thursday against the Brewers.

Impact Suwinski will stick in the lineup for the third game in a row after going 1-for-8 with a run scored in the first two contests of the series with Milwaukee. With Kevin Newman (groin) recently moving to the injured list, Diego Castillo appears likely to serve as the Pirates' primary shortstop moving forward, so Suwinski could have an opportunity to solidify himself into an everyday role in the outfield. However, since Suwinski hadn't even played above the Double-A level prior to his promotion to the big leagues earlier this week, he likely won't have a long leash atop the depth chart if he struggles at the plate.

Tallies first hit Suwinski went 1-for-5 with a run scored Tuesday against the Brewers.

Impact Suwinski was promoted to the majors for the first time in his career with Bryan Reynolds (illness) sidelined. He started in right field, hit eight and reached base twice. The first was on an error by Kolten Wong, but Suwinski came around to score his first career run. One frame later, Suwinski delivered a two-out single for his first big-league hit. Reynolds is likely to only be sidelined in the short term, in which case Suwinski's time in the majors would almost certainly be short-lived. In the meantime, he could mix into Pittsburgh's outfield rotation.

Receives first big-league call The Pirates recalled Suwinski from Double-A Altoona on Tuesday

Impact Pittsburgh will bring up Suwinski and Tucupita Marcano from the Double-A ranks to replace outfielder Bryan Reynolds and utility man Cole Tucker, who both landed on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday. Suwinski's stay on the active roster will likely only last as long as the absences of Reynolds and Tucker, but the 23-year-old should play regularly against right-handed pitching until Reynolds is reinstated from the IL. Suwinski slashed .353/.421/.686 with three home runs and a stolen base across his 57 plate appearances at Altoona so far this season.

APRIL 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to Double-A affiliate The Pirates optioned Suwinski to Double-A Altoona on Wednesday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Suwinski was previously demoted to Triple-A Indianapolis on March 24, only to move down another level two weeks. Like Suwinski, Tucupita Marcano was acquired from the Padres in last summer's deal that sent Adam Frazier to San Diego, and both players will end up beginning the season at Double-A due to the lack of available at-bats on a loaded Indianapolis roster. The 23-year-old outfielder submitted a .750 OPS in 182 plate appearances at Altoona last season after coming over from San Diego.
