Gonzalez gets a breather after making 14 consecutive starts at the keystone since June 13. It’ll be veteran utility specialist Adam Frazier taking over at second base. The 26-year-old infielder has been excellent of late, hitting .333 (20-for-60) with two homers and seven RBI over his last 15 games. There’s some appeal here for fantasy managers in extremely deep mixed leagues.

Cruz has batted fifth or lower in each of his last three starts since a highly-public incident earlier this week when he was benched by Pirates interim manager Don Kelly for a lack of on-field energy and effort. The 26-year-old, who has mostly batted leadoff this season, remains one of the most potent power/speed combo threats from a fantasy standpoint, but it would be a hit to his counting stats potential if he remains stuck near the bottom of Pittsburgh’s lackluster lineup for an extended period.

Hayes also had a 106.4-mph liner to left turn into an out and then a double play, because Oneil Cruz just assumed something hit that hard to the outfield was going to drop. Hayes is batting .300 over his last 16 games, though that comes with just two extra-base hits and two walks. He’s at .239/.292/.293 overall.
