Pirates' Jung Ho Kang: Out of lineup Friday

Kang is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.

Analysis:

David Freese will take over at third base Friday in place of Kang, who is getting the night off after getting six starts over the last seven games. Kang has been a huge difference maker since being activated from the disabled list, posting an OPS of 1.076 through 35 at-bats. He figures to return to the lineup for Saturday's matchup against the Rockies.
