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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
