Pirates' Jung Ho Kang: Not in Saturday's lineup
Kang is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
Analysis:
Kang will give way to David Freese at third base after making three consecutive starts, as the Pirates continue to give him regular maintenance for his surgically repaired knee. The 29-year-old hit his second home run in three games Friday and has 11 homers in just 41 games this season. He is tied for sixth among NL third basemen in home runs.
