Reds vs. Pirates prediction, betting odds for MLB on MondayThe Pittsburgh Pirates square off with the Cincinnati Reds in MLB on Monday. This preview includes our best bet of the game.
SEPTEMBER 26, 2022•PENNLIVE.COM
Ji-hwan Bae - Heads to bench MondayBae is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.
ImpactBae will take a seat after he started each of the final three games of the Pirates' weekend series against the Cubs while going 2-for-11 with a double, a walk, two RBI, a run and two stolen bases. Though Bae doesn't have a direct path to an everyday role at any one spot, his defensive versatility should help him see a decent amount of at-bats over the final week and a half of the season as he attempts to stake his claim to a full-time role in 2023.

Ben Gamel - Losing work to rookiesGamel is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.
ImpactThe lefty-hitting Gamel is on the bench against a right-handed pitcher (Chase Anderson) for the third straight matchup and looks to have moved into a reserve role as the season winds down. The non-contending Pirates evidently see more value in giving at-bats to rookies Cal Mitchell, Jack Suwinski and Ji-hwan Bae rather than Gamel, a 30-year-old journeyman on an expiring contract.

Zack Collins - Getting steady playing timeCollins will start at first base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Reds.
ImpactSince his Sept. 13 call-up from Triple-A Indianapolis, Collins has settled into a strong-side platoon role at first base for the Pirates. The results haven't been particularly encouraging, however; Collins is off to a 1-for-19 start to his time in Pittsburgh.

Jason Delay - Idle MondayDelay is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.
ImpactDelay will get a breather for the series opener after he went hitless in six at-bats while he was behind the plate for both of the Bucs' final two games with the Cubs over the weekend. Jose Godoy will replace Delay as the Pirates' starting catcher Monday.

Greg Allen - Cast off 40-man rosterAllen was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Monday.
ImpactAllen lost out on regular playing time recently, and he was in the lineup just eight times over the first 23 games in September. He hit just .186 with two homers, 17 runs, eight RBI and eight stolen bases over 46 games this season and will lose his spot on the 40-man roster after Miguel Andujar was added to the active roster.
