EDGE Analysis

Newman (abdominal) will remain out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Pirates skipper Derek Shelton said that both Newman and Colin Moran (concussion) would be available off the bench for Tuesday's series opener after the two exited Sunday's game against Milwaukee with injuries, neither entered the contest. Both players are still absent from the lineup a day later, but the Pirates' reluctance to put Newman and Moran on the injured list suggests both should continue to be viewed as day-to-day. Erik Gonzalez will fill in for Newman at shortstop Wednesday.

Newman (abdomen) is not in Tuesday's lineup against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

It seemed like he could be placed on the injured list after leaving Sunday's game with lower abdominal muscle discomfort, but he's available off the bench for Tuesday's contest, per Adam Berry of MLB.com. Erik Gonzalez is starting at shortstop and leading off.

Newman was removed from Sunday's game against the Brewers in the top of the fourth inning with right lower abdominal muscle discomfort, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Newman and first baseman Colin Moran were both pulled in the first half of the contest, with the latter exiting early to be evaluated for a concussion. It's unclear when Newman may have picked up his injury, but he'll finish the day 0-for-2 with a strikeout. JT Riddle came off the bench to replace Newman, who should be viewed as day-to-day heading into the Pirates' upcoming two-game series with the White Sox that begins Tuesday.

Newman isn't in the lineup Saturday against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Newman's nine-game hitting streak came to an end in Friday's series opener against the Brewers, and he'll get a day off Saturday. Erik Gonzalez will shift to shortstop with JT Riddle starting at third base.

Newman went 2-for-3 with a walk in Thursday's 2-0 loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start at second base and hitting second, Newman was a regular presence on the basepaths, but none of his teammates could bring him home. The 27-year-old has upped his batting average on the year to .292 with a nine-game hitting streak that's seen him go 15-for-36 (.417).

Newman went 3-for-4 with a double and a walk in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

He's slashing .378/.391/.511 in 47 plate appearances in August. Newman, who stole 16 bases last season, was thrown out in his lone attempt thus far in 2020. Still, after starting the season in a 1-for-20 funk, it seems as though the infielder has found his stroke.

Newman went 4-for-5 with an RBI double in an 11-5 loss to the Tigers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

He lifted his batting average to a season-high .262. Newman has batted second in the lineup nine times in 11 starts after hitting leadoff almost exclusively in the second half of 2019. The 27-year-old collected a walk-off hit -- the fifth in his short career -- in Thursday's win and appears back on track following a slow start.

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

Newman will take a seat for the second time in three days, opening up a spot at shortstop for JT Riddle. The 27-year-old Newman went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 5-2 loss, spelling an end to a three-game hitting streak.
