Pirates' Jung Ho Kang: Out of lineup Saturday

Kang is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

Analysis:

David Freese will jump across the diamond to third base as Kang sits for the second time in three games. Kang has certainly picked it up offensively after an utterly forgettable month of July, smacking three home runs over the past week, but he's had some lapses in the field recently. Freese will likely continue to steal occasional starts at the hot corner against right-handers.
