Newman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and two RBI in a 3-2 victory against the Brewers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie again extended his hitting streak with a home run. He is on a 16-game hitting streak and has homered in each of the last three games. During his streak, Newman is hitting .378 (28-for-74) with nine extra-base hits, 14 RBI and nine runs. Overall, he is batting .330 with five home runs, 29 RBI and 20 runs in 191 at-bats this season.

Newman went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two RBI in the Pirates' 10-0 victory over the Astros on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Newman continued his red-hot form at the plate, extending his hitting streak to 17 games with a three-hit effort from atop the order in this contest that included his fourth long ball of the season. He's now ripped off seven hits in his last 11 at-bats to bring his slash line for the season up to .333/.381/.478 through 186 at-bats.

Newman went 4-for-6 with a three-run homer and his fifth stolen base of the season Wednesday against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

He's slashing .375/.423/.542 with two homers, 11 RBI and four steals in 79 plate appearances during his batting streak. After bouncing around in the batting order, Newman has hit leadoff in each of his 21 June starts. He'll still need to contend with the likes of prospect Cole Tucker -- who's hitting .385 in his last nine Triple-A games -- but it's possible that Newman could slide over to second base if and when Tucker is recalled. In the meantime he continues to provide fantasy owners with surprising value.

Newman went 2-for-6 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's extra-innings win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Newman came up clutch in this one, driving in a run and scoring one during the Pirates' three-run ninth inning before drawing a walkoff walk in the 11th frame. The 25-year-old shortstop has now hit safely in 11 consecutive games, going 18-for-50 (.360) with five extra-base hits (four doubles and a triple), three stolen bases and a 5:4 BB:K during that stretch.

Newman went 3-for-5 with a stolen base in a 5-4 victory against the Marlins on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old is flourishing in the leadoff spot. He's currently on a seven-game hitting streak; during that stretch, his average has risen 20 points, and he's swiped three bags. Newman isn't hitting for much power, but he can supply average and the occasional stolen base to owners as long as he remains in the leadoff spot. Newman is batting .315 with 12 extra-base hits, 19 RBI, 15 runs and four stolen bases in 149 at-bats this season.

Newman went 3-for-5 with a double, walk, two RBI and a stolen base Wednesday in the Pirates' 8-7 loss to the Braves in 11 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Newman is only slashing .281/.309/.391 out of the leadoff spot this season, but his season-long on-base percentage (.371) and recent form at the plate suggest he'll remain an ideal fit atop the lineup. He's supplied back-to-back three-hit, one-steal performances and will look to keep rolling again Thursday in the series finale.

Newman went 3-for-4 with two runs and a stolen base Tuesday in the Pirates' 7-5 loss to the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Newman didn't need a full nine innings to turn in one of his better performances of the season, as the game was called in the eighth following a one-hour, 48-minute rain delay. The 25-year-old looks to have a stranglehold on the leadoff gig in Pittsburgh with each of his last 11 starts coming out of that spot in the batting order.

Newman is not starting Sunday against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Newman is the only natural shortstop on the Pirates' roster after Cole Tucker was optioned Saturday, but he apparently won't be playing every day. Jung Ho Kang starts at shortstop for the first time since 2015.

Newman will start at second base and bat leadoff Thursday against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Newman has slotted in atop the lineup for eight of the Pirates' past nine games, unseating Adam Frazier as the team's table setter. The 25-year-old has only turned in a .256 on-base percentage during that span, however, so he may need to pick up the pace offensively to ensure he sticks in the leadoff role for the remainder of the season.

Newman is starting at shortstop and hitting leadoff Thursday against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Newman is hitting .347 with a .903 OPS through 28 games this season, prompting the Pirates to move the 25-year-old to the top of the order for the second time in three games. If Newman and regular leadoff man Adam Frazier -- who is hitting just .250 this season -- continue to trend in opposite directions at the dish, the young shortstop could solidly himself as the team's new table setter.
