Pirates' Jung Ho Kang: Not in Monday's starting lineup

Kang is not in the lineup for Monday's series opener against the Braves.

Analysis:

After starting three games in a row against the Cubs over the weekend, Kang will get a day off to rest the leg that was ailing him earlier in the season. This is more of a routine day off than any concern that he's not holding up, so he should be back in the lineup Tuesday. On Monday, though, David Freese will man the hot corner and bat cleanup.
