Pirates' Jung Ho Kang: Not in lineup again Tuesday

Kang is not in the lineup Tuesday against St. Louis.

Analysis:

It will be the second straight absence for Kang, who's been mired in a slump of late, hitting just .121 over his last 11 games. It's also worth noting that Kang is currently the subject of an ongoing sexual assault investigation, according to the Chicago Tribune. The Pirates issued a statement acknowledging the investigation, which allegedly took place when the Pirates visited Chicago last month. As of Tuesday, no charges have been filed in conjunction with the investigation.
