Leaves early Sunday Newman was removed from Sunday's game against the Brewers in the top of the fourth inning with right lower abdominal muscle discomfort, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette... Impact Newman and first baseman Colin Moran were both pulled in the first half of the contest, with the latter exiting early to be evaluated for a concussion. It's unclear when Newman may have picked up his injury, but he'll finish the day 0-for-2 with a strikeout. JT Riddle came off the bench to replace Newman, who should be viewed as day-to-day heading into the Pirates' upcoming two-game series with the White Sox that begins Tuesday.
