Pirates Shuffle Outfield for Series Finale | Pittsburgh Pirates News

The Pirates are making a bold lineup tweak for their series finale, moving Bryan Reynolds to DH while Jake Mangum takes over left field and rookie Esmerlyn Valdez returns to right. With Oneil Cruz back in center after a 72-day absence — crushing three homers since his return — the team’s offense is firing on all cylinders. This reshuffle gives Reynolds a better chance to boost his slugging stats and lets Valdez shine against lefties, including a key homer against a southpaw. The Pirates are betting big on this dynamic trio to turn things around, blending firepower with flexibility for maximum impact.
