Rizzo (back) isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
Rizzo was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to lower-back stiffness and will be held out for a second consecutive matchup Wednesday. It's not yet clear if he'll be available off the bench or able to return to the starting nine for Thursday's series opener against the Red Sox. Giancarlo Stanton is serving as the designated hitter while Matt Carpenter starts in right field.
