As has become custom, Pirates outfielder Gregory Polanco won't be playing on Sunday. He'll be taking the day off, with John Jaso batting third and playing right field in his place. Polanco has been receiving many more days off than would have been expected before the season began, partly due to inju[...]

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder John Jaso was placed in the leadoff spot on Sunday but proved to be a liability to the team. He went 0-for-5 at the plate, stranding five men on base on the afternoon. He also misplayed a ball in right field that was ruled a hit, but could have easily been called an er[...]

John Jaso gets to attack Rookie Davis in a great run-scoring park. Which other possibly overlooked players could produce in MLB DFS?

John Jaso got a rare start in right field and responded with a solo homer in the ninth inning. It was simply an insurance run, but it was the first of the season for Jaso.

Jaso, a lifetime .264 hitter, is in the midst of a career year. In a season where he was asked to adapt to a brand new position, Jaso has found a lot of success at the plate. In fact, he is hitting a career high .304 for the Bucs and has driven in 15 runs and scored another 20. [...]

Jaso went 3-for-3 Tuesday, scoring one run and driving in two. The first baseman’s slash line sits at a solid .296/.364/.448. His power has been a pleasant surprise, as the lead off man has blasted three home runs so far. Despite his age, the 32-year old Jaso seems to be in the midst of a career y[...]
