Suwinski is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.
The left-handed-hitting Suwinski has been drawing regular starts against right-handed pitching of late, but he'll head to the bench Monday while the Blue Jays send righty Kevin Gausman to the hill. With Suwinski getting the night off in the series opener, Alexander Canario will cover center field and will bat seventh.

Pirates' Jack Suwinski: Getting regular run in center field
Rotowire
Suwinski will start in center field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Suwinski has started four of the last five games and appears to be the primary option in center field against right-handed pitching while Oneil Cruz (concussion) is on the 7-day injured list. Since the start of August, Suwinski has produced a .798 OPS over 12 games.

Pirates' Jack Suwinski: Comes up clutch Friday
Rotowire
Suwinski went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 win over the Cubs. He was also hit by a pitch.
Suwinski broke a 2-2 tie with a go-ahead solo shot in the ninth, which proved to be the game-winner. It was the 27-year-old's second homer in his past 10 games, though he's just 5-for-28 in that span. On the season, he's slashing a bleak .125/.282/.240 with three home runs, six RBI, 11 runs scored and six steals across 117 plate appearances.
Pirates' Jack Suwinski: Rare multi-hit performance
Rotowire
Suwinski went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a walk Sunday against the Reds.
Suwinski has earned playing time across all three outfield spots in the last week, starting six of seven games against right-handed pitchers. As pedestrian as his performance was, Sunday was one of his better games of the season and marked only his second multi-hit performance across 26 starts. Suwinski is hitting a miserable .126 for the campaign and has only a .092 ISO across 106 plate appearances.

Pirates' Jack Suwinski: Goes yard in victory
Rotowire
Suwinski went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-4 win against the Giants.
The Pittsburgh outfielder notched his second long ball of the season when he took San Francisco reliever Carson Seymour deep in seventh inning. The round-tripper marked Suwinski's second extra-base hit -- both homers -- since rejoining the big-league club July 8 in a reserve role. Since then, the 27-year-old has struggled at the plate with a .103 (3-for-29) average, four runs scored and three RBI across 13 contests.
Suwinski went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Saturday's 12-4 loss to the Twins.
Suwinski delivered a 26-homer, 74-RBI season in 2023, but it's been a really tough campaign for him in 2025. The 26-year-old has gone back-and-forth between Triple-A Indianapolis and Pittsburgh plenty, and just now hit his first home run of the season in his 21st big-league game. He enters the All-Star break without much of a guaranteed role, slashing just .120/.241/.200.

Pirates' Jack Suwinski: Hitless in return to majors
Rotowire
Suwinski went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts Tuesday against the Royals.
Suwinski was recalled Tuesday and appears to be headed for his first significant stint in the majors since being optioned April 20. He immediately drew a start in right field while hitting seventh, replacing Andrew McCutchen in the lineup. Suwinski is likely to serve primarily as a bench bat while he remains in Pittsburgh, but he could start a few times per week while rotating in for McCutchen and Tommy Pham.

Pirates' Jack Suwinski: Back in big leagues
Rotowire
The Pirates recalled Suwinski from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Since being sent down to the minors June 21, Suwinski has slashed .333/.481/.619 with three homers, 12 RBI, 12 runs scored and two steals over 12 games. His offensive resurgence will earn him another chance with the big club, though he still figures to come off the bench most days. Chase Shugart (knee) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Pirates' Jack Suwinski: Sent back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Pirates optioned Suwinski to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.
As expected, Suwinski was returned to the minors after a one-day stint in the big leagues as the Pirates' 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader versus the Tigers. He was used in both contests of the twin bill, going 0-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base on the day.

Pirates' Jack Suwinski: Up with big club for twin bill
Rotowire
The Pirates recalled Suwinski from Triple-A Indianapolis to serve as their 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader versus the Tigers.
Suwinski will provide the Pirates with some extra outfield depth for the twin bill while Bryan Reynolds (personal) is away from the team on paternity leave. Though he's not included in the lineup for the first game of the day while southpaw Tarik Skubal toes the rubber for Detroit, the left-handed-hitting Suwinski could enter the lineup for Game 2, when right-hander Keider Montero is expected to work in bulk relief behind an opener. The Pirates are likely to return Suwinski to Indianapolis following the doubleheader.

Pirates' Jack Suwinski: Sent to minors
Rotowire
Suwinski was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Suwinski began the season with a regular role in the outfield, but he's started just three of the team's last 11 games. His playing time slipped after a dreadful start to the season, as he has just five hits across 39 at-bats while striking out 42.2 percent of the time.

Pirates' Jack Suwinski: Snaps hitless streak
Rotowire
Suwinski went 2-for-4 on Tuesday against the Nationals.
Suwinski entered Tuesday hitless across his last six games and nine at-bats. He did manage four walks in that span, but it's still been a poor start to the season, as he has only a .156/.289/.188 slash line across 38 plate appearances while striking out at a 39.5 percent rate.

Pirates' Jack Suwinski: On bench again Monday
Rotowire
Suwinski is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Suwinski will take a seat for the third time in four games following a recent streak of five consecutive starts. Though the Pirates will continue to shield the left-handed-hitting Suwinski from matchups against southpaws, the 26-year-old should be in line for at least a part-time role versus righties while fellow outfielder Bryan Reynolds is limited to designated-hitter duties as he continues to manage right triceps soreness.

Pirates' Jack Suwinski: Getting fifth straight start
Rotowire
Suwinski will start in right field and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Rays.
After handling a bench role in the first two games of the season, Suwinski will now pick up his fifth straight start. The uptick in playing time has come at the expense of Andrew McCutchen, who will take a seat for the third straight game. Suwinski has gone 2-for-15 with six strikeouts thus far, but he's salvaged some value with a pair of stolen bases.
Suwinski went 1-for-5 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and an RBI in Saturday's game against the Marlins.
Suwinski has opened the season in a reserve outfield role but drew his first start Saturday while hitting fifth. He delivered his only hit of the game in the first inning with a hard-hit double over the right fielder's head to drive in a run. Suwinski had a strong spring to earn a bench spot, but he could earn additional playing time if he bounces back to his 2023 form.
