Pirates' Jung Ho Kang: Playing time trending down
Kang is out of the lineup Thursday against the Padres.
Analysis:
His playing time continues to be somewhat unpredictable, as he will be held out of the lineup for the fourth time in the last six games. David Freese will get the start at third base Thursday and it would be hard to fault Kang's owners in shallower leagues if they choose to cut bait, given the dip in playing time and his .230/.307/.447 slash line.
