Joshua Palacios - Sitting against southpaw Palacios is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
Impact Along with fellow left-handed hitters Jack Suwinski and Alfonso Rivas, the lefty-hitting Palacios will retreat to the bench while southpaw Patrick Corbin takes the hill for the Nationals. Connor Joe will replace Palacios in right field and bat third.

Jack Suwinski - 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.

Alfonso Rivas - Sitting against southpaw Rivas is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
Impact Though he'll hit the bench Monday against southpaw Patrick Corbin, the lefty-hitting Rivas may have recaptured a strong-side platoon role at first base. He started in each of the Pirates' last three matchups with right-handers, going 1-for-8 with a walk and a stolen base.

Raisel Iglesias - Notches save Sunday Iglesias earned his 29th save with a scoreless ninth inning during Sunday's 5-2 win against the Pirates. He allowed one hit and did not strike out or walk any batters.
Impact The veteran right-hander has converted his last 20 save opportunities dating back to June 20, and he has a 2.10 ERA and 37:9 K:BB across 30 innings during that span. Overall Iglesias ranks 11th in the league in saves despite missing the first month of the season with a shoulder strain, and he's blown only two chances all year.

Kyle Wright - With team in Philadelphia Wright (shoulder) is with Atlanta for the team's doubleheader in Philadelphia on Monday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact The club has yet to announce who will start the second game of the doubleheader after Spencer Strider (illness) was pushed back, but all signs point to it being Wright. The 27-year-old's last rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett came on Sept. 5 and he threw just 50 pitches over 3.2 innings, so he would have an abbreviated workload Monday, assuming he is indeed the starter for the nightcap.
