Pirates Shuffle Infield for Boost | MLB News

The Pirates are making a bold infield shuffle to unlock more offense, moving Nick Gonzales from third to second base while Brandon Lowe steps into the DH role. With O’Hearn sidelined and Griffin out, Horwitz and Lowe anchor the right side, while Triolo and Gonzalez hold down the left. Gonzales’ offensive upside is being maximized despite his defensive struggles at third, where Triolo’s Gold Glove defense shines. The lineup stays aggressive with Horwitz leading off, Lowe next, Cruz back in center after a two-month break, and Davis batting ninth behind Skenes. This setup aims to build on recent momentum and keep the top five hitters consistent.
