Newman (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Newman's placement on the injured list was expected since the shortstop is slated to miss 3-to-5 weeks after sustaining a left groin strain in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers. Diego Castillo will start at shortstop Wednesday against Milwaukee, while Tucupita Marcano should also see increased playing time with Newman unavailable.

EDGE Analysis

Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that the shortstop suffered a left groin strain in Tuesday's loss to Milwaukee.

Diego Castillo and Tucupita Marcano should see more reps at shortstop while Newman is sidelined.

Newman was removed from Tuesday's game against the Brewers with left groin tightness, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Newman missed three games with a left groin injury before returning to action last week, and it appears he aggravated the injury Tuesday. The 28-year-old went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run prior to exiting the contest and should be considered day-to-day.

Newman went 2-for-3 with an RBI double and a walk in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Newman drew a walk in the second inning and followed it up with an RBI double in the third off of Justin Steele. He finished topped off his big day with a fifth-inning single and raised his average to .222 through 45 at-bats. Sunday's performance was his first multi-hit game of the year.

Newman went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base Friday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Newman tallied his only hit of the game in the second inning. He then proceeded to steal second base -- his first of the season -- and came around to score on a base hit by Roberto Perez. Newman has been in the Pirates' lineup four times in the last five matchups, and he's recorded three hits in 16 at-bats with two runs scored in that span.

Newman isn't starting Thursday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Newman started in the last three games and went 2-for-11 with a run. Hoy Park will take over at shortstop and bat ninth Thursday.

Newman (groin) is starting Monday's game against the Brewers.

Newman (groin) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Newman will miss his third game in a row on account of the groin issue. Diego Castillo will draw the start at shortstop in place of Newman, who is being viewed as day-to-day. In the event Newman's groin forces him to the injured list, the Pirates could bring up top prospect Oneil Cruz from Triple-A Indianapolis to step in as the team's everyday shortstop.

Newman is considered day-to-day with a groin injury, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Newman has been out of the lineup Friday and Saturday, though no injury had been announced. It's unclear whether the issue will cause a stint on the injured list. Cole Tucker and Hoy Park have gotten looks as shortstop in Newman's absence, while Oneil Cruz awaits a promotion at Triple-A Indianapolis.

Newman is not in the lineup Saturday against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Newman started the first six games of the season at shortstop but has now been on the bench for two in a row. Cole Tucker will take over for him this time around.
