Gonzales Switches to Third, Triolo Takes Shortstop

0:00On March 25, Pittsburgh Pirates Infielder Nick Gonzales is switching things up for the 2026 season. He'll start a third base while Jeratrio Lowe takes over a shortstop. That's a flip from last year when the roles were reversed. Gonzales has limited time at third base with just one major league start and 15 minor league starts there. He got more reps during spring training and with Team Mexico at the World Baseball Classic to build comfort. Trio Lowe sounds excited about the move and ready to play wherever the team needs him. He's leaned heavily on Trio Lowe, a gold glove utility player for tips on the position after struggling defensively at second base in the past. Trio Lowe brings strong stats to shortstop with solid marks at third base like seven defensive runs saved. Pirates manager Don Kelly also likes what he's seen from Gonzales and utility man Nick York at the hot corner after their offseason work. Both players put in the effort and the team feels good about this infield setup heading into the new year.
