Pierzynski is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

With left-hander Francisco Liriano taking the ball for Pittsburgh, Pierzynski will retreat to the bench for the second time this series. Tyler Flowers will fill in for him behind the plate for the day, although Flowers could garner another start with lefty Jeff Locke slated to pitch Thursday for the Pirates.

Pierzynski is not in the lineup Monday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Pierzynski will head to the bench for the second day in a row, likely due to the fact that the Pirates are trotting left-hander John Niese out to the mound Monday. Tyler Flowers will take over behind the plate in his stead.

Pierzynski is out of the lineup Sunday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

It's a regular day of rest for Pierzynski, as the veteran has started three of the last four contests behind the plate for Atlanta. As usual, Tyler Flowers will man the backstop in his stead, as well as bat cleanup in the order.

Pierzynski is not in the lineup Friday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Just a day removed from his 2,000th career game, Pierzynski will receive what is likely a regular day off. Tyler Flowers will take over behind the plate to face Royals starter Edinson Volquez.

Pierzynski played in his 2,000 career game against the Phillies on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

It was another milestone in a season that should have plenty of them for the 39-year-old catcher. He recorded his 2,000 career hit in April, becoming the 10th catcher to accomplish the feat. Pierzynski also needs seven more RBI for 2,000 and five additional doubles for 400. He is slashing .205/.250/.244 with seven RBI and seven runs in 78 at-bats this year.

Pierzynski is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Pierzynski will get the day off as is standard with a lefty on the mound while Tyler Flowers gets the start in his place.

Pierzynski is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Pierzynski owns the slight edge in Atlanta's catching platoon, but typically sits against left-handers, which is the case Sunday with southpaw Patrick Corbin on the hill. Tyler Flowers will take over behind the plate, batting cleanup in the order.

Pierzynski is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Pierzynski started four of the last five games behind the plate, but he will be held out Friday with the Braves loading up on right-handed hitters against Cubs lefty Jon Lester. Tyler Flowers will start behind the plate for the Braves on Friday.

Pierzynski went 1-for-3 with an RBI to record his 2,000th career hit Wednesday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The 39-year-old is the 10th catcher in baseball history to reach the 2,000 hit plateau. Over 1,000 of those hits came with the White Sox, but he has at least 100 hits with four other teams as well. Pierzynski is slashing .220/.291/.240 in 50 at-bats this season.

Pierzynski is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Pierzynski has gone 0-for-8 with a pair of strikeouts and an error over the last two games, so he'll get a day off Tuesday to clear his head. Tyler Flowers will start behind the plate in his stead and bat sixth.
