Swaggerty (shoulder) will bat ninth as the Pirates' designated hitter in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swaggerty has yet to complete a throwing program after undergoing right shoulder surgery last June, but he's been fully cleared for hitting. It's unclear if the Pirates plan to have Swaggerty open the season on the injured list at Triple-A Indianapolis, or if he'll be able to play DH regularly while he advances through his throwing program and gradually settles back into a full-time role in the outfield.
