Ronny Simon - Exiting starting nine Simon is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Miami.

Impact Simon had made six consecutive starts and went 8-for-23 at the plate during that stretch, but he will exit the lineup for Thursday's series finale. Brandon Lowe will get a start at designated hitter for the Pirates, while Nick Gonzales shifts to second base and Jared Triolo grabs a start at third base.

Endy Rodríguez - Remains out Thursday Rodriguez (hip) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game in Miami.

Impact Rodriguez hasn't played in nearly a week as he continues to battle left hip discomfort. The Pirates have been viewing the injury as a day-to-day situation, but the longer Rodriguez's absence drags on, the likelier a stint on the injured list becomes. Rafael Flores will start at catcher Thursday.

Carmen Mlodzinski - Battered for loss Mlodzinski (6-5) took the loss Wednesday, giving up four runs on five hits and three walks over 2.1 innings as the Marlins secured the 8-2 win. He struck out one.

Impact Mlodzinski has only pitched 5.1 innings and has given up nine runs in his first two starts since May 25.

Khristian Curtis - Removed from 7-day IL Curtis (side) was reinstated from Triple-A Indianapolis' 7-day injured list Wednesday, Dominic Campbell of SI.com reports.

Impact Curtis has been sidelined by side discomfort since July 25, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to return to Triple-A. He made his major-league debut with the Pirates on July 18, when he operated in a bulk-relief role against the Guardians and allowed two hits and two walks while striking out four across five scoreless innings. Curtis has a 5.84 ERA and 1.69 WHIP over 24.2 innings in the minors this season but could see some major-league action over the final weeks of the regular season.

Carmen Mlodzinski - Another start on tap Wednesday Mlodzinski will start Wednesday's game against the Marlins in Miami.

Impact Mlodzinski rejoined the rotation last week after the Pirates shut Mitch Keller down for the season Aug. 3 due to a right arm teres major muscle injury. While making his first start since May 25 in last Friday's 6-4 loss to the Mets, Mlodzinski dropped to 6-4 on the season while yielding five earned runs on seven hits and one walk across three innings. He threw 63 pitches in that outing but should be able to push up into the 70-to-80 range Wednesday as he builds back up following his extended stay in the bullpen.

Ronny Simon - Handling regular role Simon will start at designated hitter and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Since being called up from Triple-A Indianapolis a week ago, the switch-hitting Simon appears to have taken hold of a spot in the Pirates' everyday lineup. He'll pick up his sixth consecutive start Wednesday after going 6-for-19 with a a double, a walk, a stolen base, three runs and two RBI. Simon could soon be in danger of a role reduction, however, as the Pirates appear likely to get center fielder Oneil Cruz (hand) back from the injured list either later this week or early next week.

Henry Davis - Filling in for banged-up Rodriguez Davis will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Davis will be making his fourth straight start behind the dish while Endy Rodriguez continues to miss time while nursing a hip injury. The Pirates are treating Rodriguez as day-to-day, and if Rodriguez is able to avoid a trip to the injured list and return to the lineup in the near future, Davis will likely see his playing time fall by the wayside.

Endy Rodríguez - Missing out on fifth straight start Rodriguez (hip) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Rodriguez will be relegated to the bench for a fifth consecutive game while he contends with left hip discomfort. Henry Davis will get another start at catcher in place of Rodriguez, whom the Pirates are viewing as day-to-day.
