Pirates' David Freese: Not in Tuesday's lineup
Freese is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Phillies, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.
Analysis:
Freese has assumed everyday first base duties while Starling Marte (back) has been on the shelf, but the corner infielder will get a day to rest Tuesday. Josh Bell will slide over to first base to cover for Freese, while Matt Joyce enters the starting lineup to fill the void in the outfield left by Bell's shift.
