Pirates' Jordy Mercer: Leading off Thursday
Mercer is leading off Thursday against the Diamondbacks, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.
Analysis:
The Pirates are giving John Jaso the day off, so Mercer will shift up to the top of the lineup while slotting in at shortstop, defensively. Mercer went hitless in four at-bats Wednesday, but he's still hitting a shade under .300 on the season.
