PITTSBURGH PIRATES NEWS

Isiah Kiner-Falefa - On bench Sunday Kiner-Falefa is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Impact Nick Gonzales will take over at shortstop and atop the batting order against right-hander Hunter Greene. Kiner-Falefa occupies those spots most days, and he's provided a .286 average this month as the Pirates' primary leadoff hitter, though it's been a rather empty batting average (five doubles, no homers, three RBI in his last 19 games).

Bryan Reynolds - Taking seat Sunday Reynolds is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Impact This looks like a breather for Reynolds, who is in the midst of a 3-for-23 cold spell. After totaling 18 home runs in the first half, Reynolds has hit just four homers since the All-Star break, and none since Sept. 2. Billy Cook will get the start in left field, batting ninth against right-hander Hunter Greene.

For the season, Jones has seen his ERA climb to 4.14 in 117.1 innings.

Oneil Cruz - Tallies 20th homer Cruz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Friday against the Reds.

Impact Cruz hasn't hit for much power across the last six weeks, as Friday's shot was only his second homer in his last 35 games. Nevertheless, it was his 20th of the season -- his first time hitting that threshold -- and he has still put together an encouraging second half. Since the All-Star break, he's hit .302 with a .368 on-base percentage to go along with 15 stolen bases.

Overall, Keller sports a 4.21 ERA on the year with a 1.29 WHIP and 160:48 K:BB across 173 innings. He'll look to end the year on a better note in his final start, currently lined up for next week at home versus the Brewers.
