Newman isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Newman will be out of the lineup for the third time in four games after he went 0-for-3 in Tuesday's loss. Hoy Park will shift to shortstop while Anthony Alford enters the lineup in left field, and Newman looks like he could be the odd man out while the Pirates remain interested in evaluating Park and Alford down the stretch.

Newman remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

On the bench for the second game in a row, Newman looks like he could be at risk of moving into more of a part-time role with the Pirates eager to take a look at Hoy Park, who will enter the lineup for the fifth time in six contests as the team's leadoff hitter. Newman is slashing an unremarkable .243/.269/.330 since the beginning of July, which hasn't helped his cause for receiving regular at-bats.

Newman isn't starting Saturday's game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Newman had started each of the last five games, and he went 5-for-19 with two doubles, two runs, two RBI, a stolen base and two walks. Hoy Park will start at shortstop and lead off.

Newman is out of the lineup Sunday against the Phillies, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

Newman is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Wilfer Difo will step in at shortstop for Newman, who had started each of the last six games while going 6-for-23 at the dish. Following the Pirates' trade earlier this week that sent All-Star Adam Frazier to the Padres, Newman could take over as Pittsburgh's primary leadoff man versus left-handed pitching.

Newman went 4-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 10-2 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Newman hit four singles in the win, marking his first game of the year with three RBI and four hits. He is batting .246 in the month of July, which is his best month so far this season. The 27-year-old is slashing .216/.254/.274, much worse than his 2019 slash line of .308/.353/.446. To make matters worse, he is less of a stolen base threat this year with only two steals.

Newman is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Newman is 3-for-17 with two RBI and two runs in the first four games after the All-Star break and will receive the day off in Arizona. Wilmer Difo will take over at shortstop for the Buccos.

Newman will sit for the first half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Newman has done very little at the plate this season, hitting just .206/.249/.268. Cole Tucker takes over at shortstop in his absence, though Newman will likely return to the lineup for the nightcap.

Newman isn't starting Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Newman had gone 3-for-24 with a solo home run and two strikeouts across the last six games. He'll get a breather Tuesday while Wilmer Difo starts at shortstop and bats sixth.

Newman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

The homer, his third of the season, gives him a .208 batting average and four extra-base hits in 106 plate appearances since the end of May. Aside from the infielder's .308 batting average in 2019, he's hit just .213 in his other three seasons. While Newman has struggled immensely, he figures to retain steady playing time, especially if the team trades starting second baseman Adam Frazier.
