Michael Perez - Struggles continuePerez went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Monday's 9-5 loss to the Reds.
ImpactThe catcher, who figures to see steady playing time with Jacob Stallings (concussion) on the injured list, is 2-for-51 with a 6:16 BB:K since Aug. 3. Not surprisingly, he's hitless in two at-bats and has grounded into a double play against Tuesday starter Tyler Mahle. For the season, Perez is slashing .135/.212/.297 with seven homers in 203 plate appearances. Recently-acquired Taylor Davis will serve as the team's backup catcher.

Yoshi Tsutsugo - Day off TuesdayTsutsugo will sit Tuesday against Cincinnati.
ImpactTsutsugo has hit an excellent .306/.394/.682 with eight homers in 31 games since joining the Pirates in mid-August, yet he sits here for the second time in three days. Ben Gamel slides to right field, with Anthony Alford starting in left.

Kevin Newman - Heads to benchNewman will not start Tuesday's game against the Reds.
ImpactNewman remains a regular despite the fact that he's hitting just .224/.261/.331 on the season. It will take quite a run over the final two weeks if he's to avoid finishing with an OPS south of .600 for the second straight season. Cole Tucker takes over at shortstop.

Mike Moustakas - On bench against rightyMoustakas will sit Tuesday against the Pirates.
ImpactMoustakas has occupied the large side of a platoon at third base since returning from a heel injury in early August, but his off day here comes against righty Mitch Keller. His .208/.282/.372 season slash line arguably doesn't deserve even a platoon role, though Eugenio Suarez, who starts at the hot corner in his absence, is hitting just .179/.268/.390.
