Bound for Triple-A The Pirates optioned Suwinski to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.

Impact The lefty-hitting Suwinski has mostly operated as a strong-side platoon outfielder this season, but even against right-handed pitching, he's struggled to a .144/.256/.261 slash line over 129 plate appearances. The Pirates will send Suwinski to Indianapolis with the hope that he refines his approach and regains some confidence at the plate, but a return to the big leagues likely won't be imminent until he starts producing at Triple-A. In the meantime, Suwinski's absence could reopen more playing time at first base for Rowdy Tellez while Connor Joe takes on more starts out of the corner outfield.

Impact The Giants are using a left-handed pitcher in Erik Miller to open Thursday's contest, so the lefty-hitting Suwinski will begin the game on the bench. Suwinski will be a candidate to enter mid-game if the Giants turn to a right-hander out of the bullpen.

Getting back on track Suwinksi went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Thursday against the Phillies.

Impact Suwinski has had a poor second half of the season, though he's turned his performance around some within the last few weeks. Since the start of September, he's maintained a .295 average while also hitting four home runs, driving in 16 and scoring 12 runs across 24 games. Despite some inconsistencies, Suwinski should be in the mix for a starting outfield role in Pittsburgh to begin 2024.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against lefty Suwinski is not in the lineup Friday against the Reds.

Impact Miguel Andujar, Ji Hwan Bae and Henry Davis will start across the outfield as the Pirates take on left-hander Andrew Abbott. Suwinski has slashed just .178/.282/.257 in 117 plate appearances versus southpaws this year.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Another two hits in win Suwinski went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's victory over Washington.

Impact Suwinski jumped on the first pitch he saw from Josiah Gray and launched it into the stands in right field for his 25th home run of the season. The center fielder also added a single on the day, giving him his fifth multi-hit game this month, and he's now hit safely in seven straight. Suwinski has been very productive in September, batting .324 with three homers, nine RBI and five runs scored. He's also recorded at least one RBI in six of his last seven games.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On base four times, swipes bag Suwinski went 2-for-3 with a double and a stolen base, while drawing two intentional walks during Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Nationals.

Impact Suwinski reached base in four of his five plate appearances Tuesday, roping a first-inning double down the right field line, stealing second base after a single in the third and later drawing a pair of intentional walks. The 25-year-old outfielder has now hit safely in each of his last five games, going 7-for-18 (.389) with three doubles, one home run, five RBI, two runs and three steals during the modest hit streak.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Idle versus lefty Suwinski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Suwinski will join fellow left-handed hitters Alfonso Rivas and Josh Palacios on the bench for the series opener versus Washington with southpaw Patrick Corbin on the bump for the Nationals. While starting in each of the past seven games, Suwinski went 7-for-25 with two home runs, two doubles, two walks, two stolen bases, seven RBI and three runs.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

More consistent contact Suwinski went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against Atlanta.

Impact Suwinski has slumped for nearly the entire second half of the season and had lost out on playing time as a result. However, with Andrew McCutchen (Achilles) out for the season, Suwinski should take over a large-side platoon role at a combination of designated hitter and the corner outfield. His recent production provides some hope that he can take advantage of the opportunity, as he has three home runs across his last eight games and has limited his strikeout rate to a relatively low 23.1 percent clip in that span.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Swats two-run homer Suwinski went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 4-2 win against Milwaukee on Monday.

Impact The Pirates were behind by two runs in the fourth inning when Suwinski tied the score with his two-run blast to center field. The long ball was just his second since July 24, a span during which he's slashed a dreadful .141/.286/.263 over 33 contests. Suwinski has struck out at a 35.6 percent clip since the All-Star break, the worst mark among qualified MLB hitters.

Sitting against lefty Suwinski isn't in the Pirates' lineup Saturday against St. Louis, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Left-hander Drew Rom will start on the mound for the Cardinals, meaning Suwinski will stay put in the Pirates' dugout to begin the game. Ji Hwan Bae will shift to center field in Suwinski's absence while Liover Peguero mans second base.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Snaps slump Wednesday Suwinski went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Royals.

Impact Suwinski had gone without a homer since July 24, and he didn't have a multi-hit effort in August prior to Wednesday. While he's been inconsistent, he's starting to get things turned around, hitting safely in five of his last six games, though he also snapped a 10-game RBI drought Wednesday. For the season, the outfielder has 22 homers, 56 RBI, 51 runs scored and nine stolen bases, but he's slashing just .207/.334/.445 through 117 contests. Suwinski will likely remain limited to a strong-side platoon role down the stretch.

AUGUST 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench again Thursday Suwinski remains out of the lineup Thursday versus the Cubs.

Impact Suwinksi hasn't drawn a start since Monday and he'll remain on the bench Thursday as the Pirates take on left-hander Justin Steele. The 25-year-old outfielder has struggled to a .071/.257/.125 batting line in 70 plate appearances so far in August and holds an overall .594 OPS against lefties this year.

AUGUST 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out versus lefty Suwinski is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Cardinals, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact The Cardinals are starting southpaw Zack Thompson, so the lefty-hitting Suwinski will hit the bench for the series finale. He also didn't start Tuesday against right-hander Adam Wainwright after going 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in Monday's series opener. Suwinski is going through one of his patented slumps this month with a .382 OPS so far in August.

AUGUST 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench amid slump Suwinski is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Cardinals.

Impact Suwinksi went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in Monday's series opener and is slashing just .071/.257/.125 in 70 plate appearances since the calendar flipped to August. Josh Palacios will patrol center field and bat sixth Tuesday against the Cardinals and right-hander Adam Wainwright.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sits versus southpaw Suwinski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact He'll retreat to the bench while the Twins bring southpaw Dallas Keuchel to the hill for the series finale. The lefty-hitting Suwinski has been far more effective against right-handers (124 wRC+) than southpaws this season, batting .205/.300/.308 (70 wRC+) in 90 plate appearances versus same-handed pitching.
