Jack Suwinski Injury News & Updates
Sep 29, 2023
Getting back on track
Suwinksi went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Thursday against the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski has had a poor second half of the season, though he's turned his performance around some within the last few weeks. Since the start of September, he's maintained a .295 average while also hitting four home runs, driving in 16 and scoring 12 runs across 24 games. Despite some inconsistencies, Suwinski should be in the mix for a starting outfield role in Pittsburgh to begin 2024.
Sep 22, 2023
Sitting against lefty
Suwinski is not in the lineup Friday against the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Miguel Andujar, Ji Hwan Bae and Henry Davis will start across the outfield as the Pirates take on left-hander Andrew Abbott. Suwinski has slashed just .178/.282/.257 in 117 plate appearances versus southpaws this year.
Sep 15, 2023
Another two hits in win
Suwinski went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's victory over Washington.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski jumped on the first pitch he saw from Josiah Gray and launched it into the stands in right field for his 25th home run of the season. The center fielder also added a single on the day, giving him his fifth multi-hit game this month, and he's now hit safely in seven straight. Suwinski has been very productive in September, batting .324 with three homers, nine RBI and five runs scored. He's also recorded at least one RBI in six of his last seven games.
Sep 13, 2023
On base four times, swipes bag
Suwinski went 2-for-3 with a double and a stolen base, while drawing two intentional walks during Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Nationals.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski reached base in four of his five plate appearances Tuesday, roping a first-inning double down the right field line, stealing second base after a single in the third and later drawing a pair of intentional walks. The 25-year-old outfielder has now hit safely in each of his last five games, going 7-for-18 (.389) with three doubles, one home run, five RBI, two runs and three steals during the modest hit streak.
Sep 11, 2023
Idle versus lefty
Suwinski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski will join fellow left-handed hitters Alfonso Rivas and Josh Palacios on the bench for the series opener versus Washington with southpaw Patrick Corbin on the bump for the Nationals. While starting in each of the past seven games, Suwinski went 7-for-25 with two home runs, two doubles, two walks, two stolen bases, seven RBI and three runs.
Sep 9, 2023
More consistent contact
Suwinski went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski has slumped for nearly the entire second half of the season and had lost out on playing time as a result. However, with Andrew McCutchen (Achilles) out for the season, Suwinski should take over a large-side platoon role at a combination of designated hitter and the corner outfield. His recent production provides some hope that he can take advantage of the opportunity, as he has three home runs across his last eight games and has limited his strikeout rate to a relatively low 23.1 percent clip in that span.
Sep 5, 2023
Swats two-run homer
Suwinski went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 4-2 win against Milwaukee on Monday.
ANALYSIS
The Pirates were behind by two runs in the fourth inning when Suwinski tied the score with his two-run blast to center field. The long ball was just his second since July 24, a span during which he's slashed a dreadful .141/.286/.263 over 33 contests. Suwinski has struck out at a 35.6 percent clip since the All-Star break, the worst mark among qualified MLB hitters.
Sep 2, 2023
Sitting against lefty
Suwinski isn't in the Pirates' lineup Saturday against St. Louis, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Left-hander Drew Rom will start on the mound for the Cardinals, meaning Suwinski will stay put in the Pirates' dugout to begin the game. Ji Hwan Bae will shift to center field in Suwinski's absence while Liover Peguero mans second base.
Aug 30, 2023
Snaps slump Wednesday
Suwinski went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski had gone without a homer since July 24, and he didn't have a multi-hit effort in August prior to Wednesday. While he's been inconsistent, he's starting to get things turned around, hitting safely in five of his last six games, though he also snapped a 10-game RBI drought Wednesday. For the season, the outfielder has 22 homers, 56 RBI, 51 runs scored and nine stolen bases, but he's slashing just .207/.334/.445 through 117 contests. Suwinski will likely remain limited to a strong-side platoon role down the stretch.
Aug 24, 2023
On bench again Thursday
Suwinski remains out of the lineup Thursday versus the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Suwinksi hasn't drawn a start since Monday and he'll remain on the bench Thursday as the Pirates take on left-hander Justin Steele. The 25-year-old outfielder has struggled to a .071/.257/.125 batting line in 70 plate appearances so far in August and holds an overall .594 OPS against lefties this year.
Aug 23, 2023
Sitting out versus lefty
Suwinski is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Cardinals, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
The Cards are starting southpaw Zack Thompson, so Suwinski will begin this one on the bench. He also didn't start Tuesday against a right-hander after going 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in Monday's series opener, as Suwinski is going through one of his patented slumps this month with a .382 OPS so far in August.
Aug 22, 2023
On bench amid slump
Suwinski is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Suwinksi went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in Monday's series opener and is slashing just .071/.257/.125 in 70 plate appearances since the calendar flipped to August. Josh Palacios will patrol center field and bat sixth Tuesday against the Cardinals and right-hander Adam Wainwright.
Aug 20, 2023
Sits versus southpaw
Suwinski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.
ANALYSIS
He'll retreat to the bench while the Twins bring southpaw Dallas Keuchel to the hill for the series finale. The lefty-hitting Suwinski has been far more effective against right-handers (124 wRC+) than southpaws this season, batting .205/.300/.308 (70 wRC+) in 90 plate appearances versus same-handed pitching.
Aug 15, 2023
Takes seat versus lefty
Suwinski is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Mets.
ANALYSIS
Bryan Reynolds, Josh Palacios and Henry Davis are starting across the outfield for the Pirates as they match up against left-hander David Peterson. The left-handed-hitting Suwinski has slashed just .073/.240/.122 in 41 plate appearances since the calendar flipped to August and he carries an overall .615 OPS this year against southpaws.
Aug 13, 2023
Sits against lefty
Suwinski is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Lefty Brandon Williamson is starting for the Reds on Sunday, so Suwinski will once again not start. He also did not start in Saturday's game against lefty Brandon Williamson. With some outfield shuffling sending Connor Joe to left, Alfonso Rivas will start at first base.
Jul 30, 2023
Sits versus southpaw
Suwinski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski went 2-for-5 with a double Saturday but will take a seat for Sunday's series finale since lefty Cristopher Sanchez is pitching for Philadelphia. Josh Palacios will man center field and bat sixth.
Jul 25, 2023
Slugs homer in win
Suwinski went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Monday's 8-4 win over the Padres.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski was on the bench for the last two games as the Pirates faced lefties both times. He went 0-for-3 off the bench in those contests before bouncing back with his first multi-hit effort since July 4 in Monday's win. The outfielder is up to 21 homers, 52 RBI, 42 runs scored, 13 doubles and seven stolen bases while slashing .230/.349/.513 over 88 games.
Jul 23, 2023
Sitting versus southpaw
Suwinski is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazettereports.
ANALYSIS
The Halos will start a lefty (Tyler Anderson) for the second straight game, so Suwinski again finds himself on the bench. Bryan Reynolds moves over to center field while Connor Joe receives another start in left.
Jul 22, 2023
Sitting versus lefty
Suwinski is not in the lineup Saturday versus the Angels.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski slugged a two-run homer Friday, his 20th home run of the year, but he'll take a seat Saturday as the Pirates face off against left-hander Reid Detmers. Connor Joe, Bryan Reynolds and Henry Davis are starting across the outfield.
Jul 22, 2023
Reaches 20-homer mark
Suwinski went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 8-5 loss to the Angels.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski secured his first 20-homer season with his fifth-inning blast off Shohei Ohtani. The homer was Suwinski's second hit over five games since the All-Star break, and he's added a rough 1:8 BB:K in that span. The outfielder has shown power with a .502 slugging percentage, but he's batting just .226 with 51 RBI, 41 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 85 contests while striking out at a 32.9 percent rate despite a strong 14.9 percent walk rate.
Jul 18, 2023
Sitting against lefty
Suwinski is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Guardians.
ANALYSIS
Bryan Reynolds will start in center field and bat second with left-hander Logan Allen set to take the mound for Cleveland. Connor Joe is in left field and serving as the Pirates' leadoff man. Suwinksi has posted a .903 OPS with 18 homers in 233 plate appearances this year versus righties, compared to a .655 OPS with one home run in 77 plate appearances versus lefties.
Jul 6, 2023
Homers in back-to-back games
Suwinski went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
The outfielder has homered in back-to-back games and four times over his last nine contests, going 10-for-27 (.370) over the longer span. Suwinski has matched his career high with 19 long balls, doing so in 76 games this year compared to 106 contests in 2022. He's slugging .522 through 282 plate appearances, but he's still batting just .235 despite his recent uptick in performance.
Jul 5, 2023
Pops 18th homer
Suwinski went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski has gone deep three times and added eight RBI over his last eight games. He's gone 9-for-23 (.391) with an 8:6 BB:K over that span. The outfielder is up to 18 homers -- one off his career high -- with 43 RBI, 38 runs scored, seven stolen bases and a .235/.365/.513 slash line through 75 contests this season while maintaining a starting role in center field.
Jul 2, 2023
Drives in four
Suwinski went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI on Sunday against the Brewers.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski was the primary source of the Pirates' offense, driving in two with a single before blasting his 17th home run of the season in the eighth inning. His streaky season has continued, as he now has hits in four of his last five games while also racking up seven RBI and six runs scored. Suwinski has struck out at a concerning 31.7 percent clip across 265 plate appearances on the campaign, though he's maintained a .351 on-base percentage and an impressive .269 ISO.
Jun 29, 2023
Ascends to leadoff spot
Suwinski is batting leadoff and playing center field Thursday versus the Padres, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's the first time this season he's hit higher than third. Suwinski strikes out a lot for a typical leadoff hitter, but with a .361 on-base percentage in 2023 against right-handed pitching, it's not a bad idea to give him a test run at the top of the batting order.
Jun 28, 2023
Smacks 16th homer
Suwinski went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-4 victory over the Padres.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski went back-to-back with Carlos Santana in the third inning, crushing a 421-foot shot off Reiss Knehr to put the Pirates ahead 5-3. The homer snapped an extended slump for Suwinski -- he'd gone 0-for-29 over his prior 11 games. The 24-year-old outfielder has been all-or-nothing at the plate this year. He's slashing .217/.337/.488 with 16 homers, 36 RBIs, 32 runs scored and six steals across 249 plate appearances.
Jun 23, 2023
Out against lefty
Suwinski isn't in the Pirates' lineup Friday against Miami, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With southpaw Jesus Luzardo set to start Friday's game, the left-handed Suwinski will remain in Pittsburgh's dugout. Ji Hwan Bae will take over for Suwinski in center field and bat eighth.
Jun 19, 2023
On bench against southpaw
Suwinski is not in the starting lineup Monday versus the Cubs.
ANALYSIS

Jun 17, 2023
Sitting against lefty
Suwinski isn't in the Pirates' lineup Saturday versus the Brewers, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
As lefty Wade Miley prepares to start for the Brewers, the left-handed bat of Suwinski will remain in the Pirates' dugout to begin Saturday's game. Ji Hwan Bae will take Suwinski's place in center field, allowing Mark Mathias to start at second base and bat eighth.
Jun 14, 2023
Homers twice in loss
Suwinski went 2-for-2 with two solo home runs and two walks in Tuesday's 11-3 loss against the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski has been on quite the power surge of late, having gone deep four times in his last four games. The 24-year-old outfielder has already logged four multi-homer games this season, and owns a robust .381/.462/1.000 slash line over his last seven games after struggling to the tune of a .207 average in the month of May.
Jun 11, 2023
Homers Sunday
Suwinski went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-1 victory over the Mets.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski finished the three-game set against New York 5-for-11 with a pair of homers. Following a prolonged cold spell, the 24-year-old outfielder has gone 14-for-44 (.318) with six home runs in his last 14 games. Suwinski is now slashing .244/.354/.517 with 13 homers, 33 RBI, 27 runs scored and six stolen bases through 206 plate appearances this season.
Jun 10, 2023
Three hits in win
Suwinski went 3-for-4 with one double, one homer, two RBI and four runs scored in Friday's 14-7 victory over the Mets.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski launched a 415-foot blast in the eighth inning for his third hit of the evening. The 24-year-old outfielder recorded his first extra-base hit since May 29th and first home run in the month of June. Suwinski was off to a torrid start to begin the year, batting .297 in April, but has since cooled off. Over his last 30 games, he sports a .226/.336/.452 slash line.
Jun 7, 2023
On bench versus lefty
Suwinski is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Athletics, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski will take a seat as the Pirates face off with left-hander Hogan Harris on Wednesday. Righty bat Connor Joe will take over in right field and bat third in the series finale with Oakland.
Jun 5, 2023
Sitting against left-hander
Suwinski is not in the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Athletics, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The A's are throwing left-hander JP Sears, so Suwinski will take a seat. Bryan Reynolds, Ji Hwan Bae and Connor Joe will be in the Pirates' outfield.
Jun 3, 2023
Sitting versus lefty
Suwinski isn't in the Pirates' lineup Saturday against the Cardinals, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The lefty-hitting Suwinski will take a seat against the lefty-throwing Jordan Montgomery. Connor Joe, Bryan Reynolds and Mark Mathias will make up Pittsburgh's outfield from left to right Saturday.
May 29, 2023
Drills two home runs
Suwinski went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo homers in Monday's loss to the Giants.
ANALYSIS
The Pirates suffered a blowout loss but Suwinski posted his second multi-homer effort in his last four games. He's up to 11 long balls this season after a 14-game drought that lasted most of the month. The second-year outfielder is slashing .239/.353/.521, though he's gone just 15-for-74 (.203) in May.
May 28, 2023
Idle versus lefty
Suwinski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
ANALYSIS
Connor Joe will join Ji Hwan Bae and Andrew McCutchen in the outfield while the lefty-hitting Suwinski heads to the bench with southpaw Marco Gonzales on the bump for Seattle. Suwinski had started in each of the Bucs' last eight games, going 8-for-31 with four extra-base hits (two home runs, two doubles), six RBI and four runs.
May 27, 2023
Snaps power drought
Suwinski went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Friday's 11-6 win over the Mariners.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski hit just .174 during a 14-game homer drought, but he broke out in a big way Friday. He went deep in the fifth and seventh innings for his first homers since May 6. The outfielder has enjoyed a productive second half of April before his recent slump, so this may spark his bat again. Suwinski owns a .233/.350/.489 slash line with nine long balls, 26 RBI, 16 runs scored and five stolen bases through 42 contests overall.
May 25, 2023
Power lacking
Suwinski went 0-for-4 with an RBI on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski came to the plate with the bases loaded in the second inning, but he untimely grounded out to push only one run across the plate. He's failed to homer in any of his last 14 games -- since May 7 -- and has only eight hits across 46 at-bats in that span. Suwinski still has a .341 wOBA and 114 wRC+ for the campaign, but his production has slipped significantly across the last few weeks.
May 17, 2023
Idle versus lefty
Suwinski is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
ANALYSIS
The lefty-hitting Suwinski will get a day off in the series finale while the Tigers bring ace southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez to the mound. Pittsburgh will roll out an outfield of Bryan Reynolds, Ji Hwan Bae and Connor Joe from left to right Wednesday.
May 3, 2023
Sitting against lefty
Suwinski is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Rays, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Suwinksi boasts a .958 OPS with six home runs, 18 RBI, five stolen bases and 10 runs scored through 23 games this season with the Pirates, but he'll grab some pine Wednesday with left-hander Shane McClanahan on the mound for Tampa Bay. Connor Joe, Bryan Reynolds and Miguel Andujar are starting across the outfield.
Apr 30, 2023
Flashes power, speed in twin bill
Suwinski went 3-for-6 with a home run, a double, a walk, a stolen base, two total runs and five total RBI across both games of a doubleheader Saturday against the Nationals.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski didn't start in the matinee, but he still made an impact in the win. He ran for Miguel Andujar in the eighth inning and came around to score, then draw a walk before stealing a base in the following frame. Suwinski then enjoyed a big Game 2, driving in a run with a double before swatting a 444-foot grand slam in the sixth. The 24-year-old has entrenched himself into a near-everyday role in Pittsburgh's outfield, building a .297/.413/.656 slash line with six homers, 18 RBI and five thefts through 80 plate appearances.
Apr 27, 2023
Drives in one, swipes bag
Suwinski went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base Thursday against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski did all of his damage in the first inning, tallying an RBI single before proceeding to swipe second base. He struck out in his other three plate appearances, increasing his strikeout rate on the campaign to 27.4 percent. He's overcome that to still post a strong .276/.397/.603 line across 73 plate appearances. With Thursday's performance, Suwinski extended his hitting streak to five games, during which he's driven in three and stolen four bases.
Apr 23, 2023
Doubles, swipes two bags in win
Suwinski went 1-for-2 with a double, an RBI and two stolen bases in Sunday's victory over the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski picked up his first two steals of the season before adding an insurance run in the eighth inning with an RBI double. The 24-year-old outfielder has been on a tear, going 11-for-32 with five home runs in his last 10 games. Suwinski has placed himself firmly on the fantasy radar with his intriguing power potential while showing an improved approach at the plate. He's now slashing .255/.383/.638 through 60 plate appearances this season.
Apr 23, 2023
Tallies deciding RBI
Suwinski went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Saturday against the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski made his lone hit of the day count when he ripped an RBI double into right field for what ultimately proved to be the game-winning run. While his strikeout remains an inflated 30.4 percent, he has at least one hit in eight of his last 10 games while delivering five homers, nine RBI and seven runs scored in that span. Overall, Suwinski has a .244/.357/.622 line across 56 plate appearances on the campaign.
Apr 20, 2023
Homers again in win
Suwinski went 1-for-2 with a home run in Thursday's 4-3 victory over the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski went back-to-back with Connor Joe in the first inning, extending Pittsburgh's lead to 4-0. Suwinski has been on a tear recently, smacking four home runs in his last three games. The left-handed outfielder is now slashing .263/.375/.684 with five home runs, 10 RBI and six runs scored through 38 at-bats to start the season. While it'll be hard for him to maintain his current pace, Suwinski has earned a regular role in the Pirates' lineup against right-handed pitching and could be worth a look in deeper leagues.
Apr 19, 2023
Smacks two more homers
Suwinski went 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBI on Tuesday against the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski took Jose Urena deep on two occasions to bring his homer total to four on the season. Three of those long balls have come at Coors Field, though he's also shown an improved ability to make contact by punching out only five times in his last 20 at-bats. His ability to maintain a decreased strikeout rate moving forward will be key, as he has a career .225 ISO but also a 30.3 percent strikeout rate across 412 plate appearances.
Apr 18, 2023
Smacks second homer
Suwinski tallied a pinch-hit homer in the ninth inning of Monday's game against the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski was out of the starting lineup with the Pirates facing lefty Kyle Freeland. However, he entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and proceeded to tally his second home run of the campaign in his only plate appearance. Since the injury to Oneil Cruz (ankle), Suwinski has started every game against right-handed pitching, but he's still in a large-side platoon role. He's continued with an all-or-nothing approach at the plate, as he has a 30.6 percent strikeout rate and .226 ISO across 36 plate appearances this season.
Apr 17, 2023
Takes seat against southpaw
Suwinski is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski will take a seat against southpaw Rich Hill. Ji Hwan Bae will be the starting center field for Monday's contest while Mark Mathias hits seventh and is lined up at second base.
Apr 12, 2023
Tallies first homer
Suwinski went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Astros.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski took Cristian Javier yard in the second inning to tally his first home run of the season. It was only his second hit of the campaign across 24 plate appearances, and he's also striking out at a 29.2 percent clip. Suwinski will sit against most lefties, but he's also been in a rotational role in the outfield against right-handed pitching. That's unlikely to change until his performance improves.
Apr 10, 2023
On bench, but regains playing time
Suwinski is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.
ANALYSIS
Though the lefty-hitting Suwinski is sitting out with a southpaw (Framber Valdez) on the hill for Houston, the 24-year-old outfielder at least seems to be regaining a foothold in the everyday lineup versus right-handed pitching. Suwinski has started in three of the Bucs' last four matchups with righties, going 0-for-8 but drawing three walks. He could have more breathing room as a regular in the outfield in the wake of the long-term injury to Oneil Cruz (fibula), as utility man Ji Hwan Bae could settle into regular role in the middle infield rather than vying for starts in center field.
Apr 4, 2023
Not in starting lineup Tuesday
Suwinski is not in the Pirates' starting lineup Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Canaan Smith-Njigba is in left, Bryan Reynolds is in center and Andrew McCutchen will play right against the Red Sox and right-handed starter Nick Pivetta. Suwinski carries intriguing fantasy upside but seems to be stuck in a fourth outfield role in the early going.
Apr 1, 2023
Heads to bench
Suwinski will sit Saturday against the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski started against righty Hunter Greene on Opening Day, going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. With lefty Nick Lodolo starting Saturday, Ji Hwan Bae will move from second base to center field, with Rodolfo Castro starting at the keystone.
Mar 20, 2023
Still expected to make team
Suwinski is still expected to make the Pirates' Opening Day roster despite some struggles this spring, manager Derek Shelton implied to Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski has had some defensive issues during Grapefruit League play and has struck out 16 times in 35 plate appearances. However, Shelton blamed the defensive problems in part on Suwinski being bothered by the sun and also indicated the outfielder's solid rookie-season showing would be weighed heavily in roster decisions. The plan has been for Suwinski to play center field and Bryan Reynolds shift over to left, although it's possible that changes given Suwinski's rough defensive performance this spring.
Mar 13, 2023
Slugs first spring homer
Suwinski went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski had two extra-base hits across 16 at-bats entering Sunday's game, though he had yet to go yard. While he's still maintained a .391 on-base percentage, Suwisnki has struck out 10 times across 22 plate appearances this spring. Despite his issues making consistent contact, he should remain the frontrunner to start in either center or left field for the Pirates on Opening Day.
Mar 4, 2023
Likely center fielder
Suwinski is expected to start in center field for the Pirates in 2023, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Bryan Reynolds was Pittsburgh's starting center fielder in 2022, but he's expected to shift to left field in the move. Meanwhile, Suwinski has started four games during spring training, three of which have come in center field. The move is significant, as it was previously anticipated that Suwinksi would be in a competition with the likes of Cal Mitchell, Canaan Smith-Njigba and Connor Joe for a starting corner outfield job.
Oct 5, 2022
Drives in one, scores once
Suwinski went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
The majority of Suwinski's production came in the third inning when he recorded an RBI single before coming around to score. He's riding a modest five-game hitting streak heading into the final day of the regular season, and he has collected six hits in 13 at-bats with three RBI and three runs scored in that span. Suwinski has struck out at a 30.7 percent clip across 368 plate appearances in his rookie season, though he's maintained a .210 ISO and .414 slugging percentage.
Sep 28, 2022
Takes seat Wednesday
Suwinski isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Reds.
ANALYSIS

Smacks two doubles
Suwinski went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, two RBI and a run scored Monday against the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski broke a tie in the seventh inning with a two-RBI double and also came around to score. He's hit only .190 with a 33.3 percent strikeout rate across 26 games since being recalled Aug. 29, though he's also managed four homers, 10 RBI and seven runs scored. Despite his struggles, Suwinksi has secure playing time against right-handed pitching.

Pinch-hit home run

ANALYSIS
Suwinski came off the bench and homered off righty Adbert Alzolay with two outs in the fifth inning to increase the Pirates' lead to 6-0. Despite the outfielder's homers in back-to-back games, the outfielder has struggled significantly during his last 13 contests, slashing .081/.171/.243 over 41 plate appearances. The 24-year-old rookie is drastically better at home with a .975 OPS over 175 plate appearances compared to a .364 OPS over 159 plate appearances on the road.
Sep 24, 2022
Heads to bench
Suwinski will sit Saturday against the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski had a homer, a steal and three walks Friday, but his reward for that performance is a trip to the bench. Even with that strong night at the plate, he still owns a .552 for the month of September and a .671 OPS on the year. Greg Allen will start in left field Saturday.
Sep 24, 2022
Homers, steals base
Suwinski went 1-for-1 with a solo homer, three walks and a stolen base in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski drilled his 17th long ball of the season during the second inning. He later picked up his fourth steal in six attempts. The rookie outfielder was stuck in a brutal 1-for-34 stretch with a 1:17 BB:K and no homers over his previous 11 appearances. Suwinski is now slashing .192/.277/.394 with 26 extra-base hits and 29 RBI through 95 MLB games.
Sep 14, 2022
Resting Wednesday

Sep 11, 2022
Swats 15th homer in loss
Suwinski went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski took St. Louis starter Jack Flaherty deep in the second inning. Since he was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Aug. 29, Suwinski has gone 10-for-36 (.278), though his homer Saturday was his first extra-base hit in those 10 games. The outfielder is up to a .209/.294/.419 slash line with 15 homers, 27 RBI, 35 runs scored, two stolen bases and nine doubles through 289 plate appearances in his rookie year. The lefty hitter should continue to see regular playing time in left field.
Aug 31, 2022
Absent from Wednesday's lineup
Suwinski isn't starting Wednesday against the Brewers.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday and went 1-for-7 with a walk and two strikeouts over the last two games. However, he'll get a breather while Ben Gamel starts in right field and bats cleanup.
Aug 29, 2022
Recalled from Triple-A
Suwinski was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski spent the last seven weeks in the minors, but the Pirates are ready to give him another crack at the top level. He will jump right into the lineup and hit sixth in Monday's game against the Brewers.
Jul 15, 2022
Sent down Friday
Suwinski was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski started just two of the last five games and will lose his spot on the major-league roster after he went 0-for-28 with a run, four walks and nine strikeouts over the last 10 matchups. Diego Castillo should see an uptick in playing time following Suwinski's demotion, while Cal Mitchell was also recalled from Indianapolis on Friday and should see his fair share of at-bats.
Jul 14, 2022
Sitting Thursday
Suwinski is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Marlins.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski will get a breather as he is currently locked into a 0-for-27 slump over his last nine games. Ben Gamel will take over in left field and bat sixth in the series finale.
Jul 11, 2022
Remains out of lineup
Suwinski isn't starting Monday's game against the Marlins, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com
ANALYSIS
Suwinski has gone 0-for-20 with two walks and nine strikeouts over his last six games, and he'll take a seat for a second consecutive matchup. Ben Gamel, Jake Marisnick and Diego Castillo are starting in the outfield from left to right.
Jul 10, 2022
Sits as strikeouts mount
Suwinski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.
ANALYSIS
After going hitless in 18 at-bats while striking out eight times over the Pirates' last five days, Suwinski will get a day off to clear his head. Diego Castillo replaces Suwinski in the Pittsburgh outfield.
Jul 6, 2022
Hits 14th home run
Suwinski went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in a 5-2 victory over the Yankees on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski continues to breakout as a power hitter, and now has 14 home runs on the season in only 62 games played. The rookie left-handed bat posted a .915 OPS in June and it appears as if his power surge is carrying over to July. Despite being on pace for a 30 home run season, Suwinski's 31.3% strikeout rate is concerning and it is worth monitoring how pitchers adapt to him over the second half of the season.
Jul 1, 2022
Records 13th homer
Suwinski went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and three runs scored Thursday against the Brewers.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski recorded his 13th homer of the season and went back-to-back with Oneil Cruz in the second inning. He's gone yard twice in his last 10 games but has struggled to a .152 average and 38.5 percent strikeout rate in that span. Nevertheless, Suwinski has had a fairly impressive rookie season by maintaining a .761 OPS across 206 plate appearances.
Jun 26, 2022
Swats 12th homer
Suwinski went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run Saturday against the Rays.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski took Jalen Beeks yard in the sixth inning for his 12th home run of the season. It was a needed performance, as Suwinski entered the game hitless in his last 13 at-bats while striking out at 53.3 percent clip in that span. Though he's hitting just .214 across 186 plate appearances for the season, Suwinski has shown significant pop by maintaining a .464 slugging percentage in his rookie campaign.
Jun 22, 2022
Takes seat Wednesday
Suwinski is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski will head to the bench amid the best stretch of his rookie season, as he's gone 6-for-15 with three home runs, a double, five walks, three RBI and seven runs over his last five contests. The 23-year-old looks secure in an everyday role at this point, but he'll give way to Cal Mitchell in right field Wednesday.
Jun 22, 2022
Scores twice
Suwinski went 0-for-2 with two walks and two runs scored Tuesday against the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski earned free passes in the third and fifth innings and came around to score on each occasion. While his three-homer game Sunday stole headlines, Suwinski has also shown increased plate discipline of late by recording at least one walk in each of his last four starts. He's scored seven runs in that span and is now reaching base at a .304 clip for the season.
Jun 19, 2022
Clocks three homers
Suwinski went 3-for-3 with three solo home runs and a walk in Sunday's 4-3 win over San Francisco.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski started his impressive day by going deep in the fourth and sixth innings off of Alex Cobb and Sam Long, respectively. He then finished the day with a bang, hammering a walkoff shot against Tyler Rogers for his third long ball of the day. Sunday's performance ended a 3-for-26 skid since his last home run June 9. Suwinski is now slashing .230/.296/.486 with 16 extra-base hits through 162 plate appearances.
Jun 15, 2022
Retreats to bench Wednesday
Suwinski is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS

Jun 10, 2022
Takes seat Friday
Suwinski is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
The rookie outfielder will receive the day off Friday after starting the past six games and going 10-for-22 with three home runs, two doubles, five RBI, six runs and a stolen base during that stretch. Travis Swaggerty will start in left field and bat sixth in Suwinski's place.
Jun 10, 2022
Slugs another homer
Suwinski went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski provided Pittsburgh's lone run of the game when he took Max Fried yard in the fourth inning. He now has eight home runs on the season, six of which have come in his last 17 starts. In that span, he's also hit .288 while driving in 11 and scoring 11 runs. Despite Pittsburgh recently promoting a number of outfield prospects, Suwinski has locked in playing time with his performance.
Jun 9, 2022
Offense ticking up
Suwinski went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Tigers.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski took Alex Faedo yard in the fourth inning to record his seventh homer of the season. He has maintained a seven-game hitting streak, during which Suwinski has gone yard twice while driving in four and scoring six runs. He's still hitting just .235 on the season, though that mark has risen to .266 across his last 20 games. Suwinski has also flashed impressive power as a rookie, maintaining a .226 ISO and .461 slugging percentage.
Jun 5, 2022
Collects three hits
Suwinski went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-0 win over Arizona.
ANALYSIS
A day after knocking a walkoff homer, Suwinski turned in his second career three-hit effort. He did most of his work in the sixth inning when he doubled, swiped third and scored a run on Diego Castillo's sacrifice fly. After going 7-for-12 against Arizona this weekend, the rookie outfielder is slashing .229/.282/.440 with 11 extra-base hits and two steals through 117 career plate appearances.
Jun 4, 2022
Walkoff homer Saturday
Suwinski went 1-for-4 with a walkoff two-run home run in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski was on track for an empty line Saturday before taking Arizona closer Mark Melancon deep with no outs in the bottom of the ninth. In his last four games, Suwinski is 6-for-16 (.375) with three RBI and three runs scored. The rookie outfielder is up to six homers, 14 RBI, 14 runs and a stolen base through 33 contests. He's still slashing an uninspiring .210/.265/.410 in 113 plate appearances despite the recent progress at the dish. He'll likely maintain a fairly regular role while Ben Gamel (hamstring) remains sidelined.
Jun 1, 2022
Takes seat Wednesday
Suwinski is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski has a .207/.281/.448 slash line and 28.1 percent strikeout rate over his past 10 games, and he'll head to the bench after starting the previous three contests. Tucupita Marcano and Cal Mitchell will start in the corner outfield spots Wednesday for Pittsburgh.
May 26, 2022
Slugs fifth homer
Suwinski went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk and two runs scored Wednesday against the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
Suwinksi went yard in the sixth inning to record his fifth home run of the season and knot the game at five. He now has three home runs across his last six starts, though he has only four hits across 20 at-bats in that span. Suwinski is hitting only .188/.244/.413 across his first 86 plate appearances in the majors, and he could be at risk of losing some playing time in favor of Cal Mitchell.
May 24, 2022
Out of lineup Tuesday
Suwinski is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old will take a seat with left-hander Kyle Freeland starting for Colorado. Cal Mitchell, who was promoted from Triple-A Indianapolis earlier Tuesday, will start in right field in his MLB debut and could cut into Suwinski's playing time.
May 22, 2022
Takes seat against lefty
Suwinski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
The lefty-hitting Suwinski will sit for the first time since May 7 while the Pirates oppose southpaw Steven Matz in the series finale. Diego Castillo checks in in right field in place of Suwinski, who went 0-for-8 between the first two games of the series to drop his season average to .167.
May 19, 2022
Smacks third long ball
Suwinski went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski led off the fifth inning with his third long ball of the season. He entered the game with just one hit across his last 18 at-bats while striking out at a 42.1 percent clip. Suwinski has retained the starting job in right field despite his struggles, though he could be at risk of losing playing time -- and perhaps a demotion -- if his production doesn't improve.
May 11, 2022
Slugs second homer
Suwinski went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski took Tommy Kahnle yard in the sixth inning to record his second home run of the season and of his career. After failing to homer in his first 32 at-bats, Suwinski has now gone deep in two of his last three games. He also remains a near everyday player, and he's managed a respectable .238/.304/.429 line-- good for a 113 wRC+ -- across 46 plate appearances.
May 10, 2022
Records first career homer
Suwinski went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Monday against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski went yard in the eighth inning to record his first career home run. Since being recalled from Double-A Altoona on April 26, Suwinski has taken over primary duties in right field in Pittsburgh. He hasn't looked overmatched as measured by a 15.8 percent strikeout rate, though he has only a .596 OPS with two extra-base hits.
May 7, 2022
Not starting matinee
Suwinski isn't starting the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski was on the bench for the second game of Wednesday's twin bill, and he'll be out of the lineup for a second straight matchup. Ben Gamel will shift to right field while Jake Marisnick starts in left.
May 4, 2022
Sits for second game of twin bill
Suwinski is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Tigers.
ANALYSIS
The rookie will retreat to the bench for the first time since being called up from Double-A Altoona on April 26. He went 0-for-2 in the Pirates' 3-2 loss in Game 1, dropping his slash line to .200/.200/.200 through his first seven big-league games.
May 2, 2022
Tallies pair of hits
Suwinski went 2-for-3 with a run scored Sunday against the Padres.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski has been in the lineup for every game since being recalled from Double-A Altoona, primarily batting sixth and playing in right field. He tallied the first multi-hit game of his career Sunday, delivering a pair of singles while also coming around to score in the seventh inning. Suwinski has only a .217 batting average and has yet to record a walk or an extra-base hit, but he has managed to make plenty of contact by maintaining just a 13 percent strikeout rate across the first 23 plate appearances of his big-league career.
Apr 28, 2022
Third straight start
Suwinski will start in right field and bat sixth Thursday against the Brewers.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski will stick in the lineup for the third game in a row after going 1-for-8 with a run scored in the first two contests of the series with Milwaukee. With Kevin Newman (groin) recently moving to the injured list, Diego Castillo appears likely to serve as the Pirates' primary shortstop moving forward, so Suwinski could have an opportunity to solidify himself into an everyday role in the outfield. However, since Suwinski hadn't even played above the Double-A level prior to his promotion to the big leagues earlier this week, he likely won't have a long leash atop the depth chart if he struggles at the plate.
Apr 27, 2022
Tallies first hit
Suwinski went 1-for-5 with a run scored Tuesday against the Brewers.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski was promoted to the majors for the first time in his career with Bryan Reynolds (illness) sidelined. He started in right field, hit eight and reached base twice. The first was on an error by Kolten Wong, but Suwinski came around to score his first career run. One frame later, Suwinski delivered a two-out single for his first big-league hit. Reynolds is likely to only be sidelined in the short term, in which case Suwinski's time in the majors would almost certainly be short-lived. In the meantime, he could mix into Pittsburgh's outfield rotation.
Apr 26, 2022
Receives first big-league call
The Pirates recalled Suwinski from Double-A Altoona on Tuesday
ANALYSIS
Pittsburgh will bring up Suwinski and Tucupita Marcano from the Double-A ranks to replace outfielder Bryan Reynolds and utility man Cole Tucker, who both landed on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday. Suwinski's stay on the active roster will likely only last as long as the absences of Reynolds and Tucker, but the 23-year-old should play regularly against right-handed pitching until Reynolds is reinstated from the IL. Suwinski slashed .353/.421/.686 with three home runs and a stolen base across his 57 plate appearances at Altoona so far this season.
Apr 6, 2022
Heads to Double-A affiliate
The Pirates optioned Suwinski to Double-A Altoona on Wednesday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Suwinski was previously demoted to Triple-A Indianapolis on March 24, only to move down another level two weeks. Like Suwinski, Tucupita Marcano was acquired from the Padres in last summer's deal that sent Adam Frazier to San Diego, and both players will end up beginning the season at Double-A due to the lack of available at-bats on a loaded Indianapolis roster. The 23-year-old outfielder submitted a .750 OPS in 182 plate appearances at Altoona last season after coming over from San Diego.
