Pirela will start in left field and hit eighth against the Reds on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Pirela struck out in a pinch-hit appearance in Friday's game after getting called up Triple-A El Paso earlier in the day, and he'll draw his first start of the season in Saturday's contest against the Reds. The 29-year-old was brought up with Manuel Margot on the paternity list, so he might not be long for the big club. He has a pedestrian .259/.309/.392 slash line over 888 career big-league at-bats.
