Nick Gonzales is out of Pittsburgh’s lineup against the Cardinals on Tuesday.

Gonzales is 0-for-12 lifetime against Andre Pallante, so he’s taking a seat in favor of Jacob Gonzalez tonight. Gonzales, who has been in the running for the NL batting title, is 2-for-14 in his last five games, dropping his average to .302. That puts him behind Luis Arraez (.313), Gabriel Moreno (.307) and Otto Lopez (.305).
