Triolo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
Triolo will take a seat after making 12 consecutive starts, and he had a .282/.391/.436 slash line with a homer, two steals, eight RBI and six runs during that span. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will shift to the hot corner while Alika Williams receives a start at shortstop.

Pirates' Jared Triolo: Provides insurance with homer
Rotowire
Triolo went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Cubs.
Triolo's homer came in the seventh inning, giving the Pirates some extra breathing room. The infielder has gone 12-for-49 (.245) over his last 16 games, though he has hit three of his seven homers in that span. He's added a .206/.294/.305 slash line with 38 RBI, 33 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 367 plate appearances. With Ke'Bryan Hayes out indefinitely, Triolo has seen a majority of the playing time at third base over the last couple of weeks.

Pirates' Jared Triolo: Set to regain regular playing time
Rotowire
Triolo went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk Monday against the Rangers.
Triolo had been relegated to a bench role since the acquisition and return of Isiah Kiner-Falefa, though he looks poised to take over at third base so long as Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) and Nick Gonzales (groin) are sidelined. Triolo is hitting just .201 for the season with a. 094 ISO, but he does have a home run in two of his last three games.

Pirates' Jared Triolo: Playing time likely to drop
Rotowire
Triolo is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.
Triolo had started in each of the last three games and in eight of the past nine contests, but with Oneil Cruz (illness) making his return to the lineup following a two-game absence, Triolo looks poised to see his playing time take a hit now that the Pittsburgh infield is back to full strength minus Nick Gonzales (groin). Trade-deadline pickup Isiah Kiner-Falefa has inherited Gonzales' everyday role at second base.

Pirates' Jared Triolo: LIkely heading back to utility role
Rotowire
Triolo will start at third base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Triolo will stay in the Pittsburgh lineup for the sixth time in seven games, but he'll likely occupy a utility role for the club moving forward after Isiah Kiner-Falefa (knee) returned from the injured list Saturday to make his Pirates debut. Kiner-Falefa is expected to serve as the Pirates' primary option at second base, where Triolo had previously made five consecutive starts before hitting the bench Saturday. Triolo will be back in the starting nine Sunday as the Pirates give regular third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes a breather.

Pirates' Jared Triolo: Getting second straight start
Rotowire
Triolo will start at second base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Astros.
Triolo will draw a second straight start at second base and could serve as the Pirates' primary option at the position in the wake of Nick Gonzales' (groin) placement on the injured list. With a .198/.272/.266 slash line to go with four home runs, four stolen bases, 25 RBI and 20 runs over 279 plate appearances this season, Triolo hasn't provided much to get excited about for fantasy purposes when given regular playing time.

Pirates' Jared Triolo: Productive in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Triolo went 2-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Rockies.
Triolo drew his fourth straight start, though two of those came with Oneil Cruz briefly sidelined. He went only 3-for-14 with seven strikeouts in that span, and he's likely to return to a reserve role so long as Cruz, Nick Gonzales and Ke'Bryan Hayes remain healthy.

Pirates' Jared Triolo: Getting fourth straight start
Rotowire
Triolo will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.
Triolo will pick up his fourth straight start, but two came while shortstop Oneil Cruz was sitting out due to a sore ankle. Cruz is back in the lineup Sunday, but Triolo will get the nod at third base in place of a resting Ke'Bryan Hayes. Expect Triolo to return to a utility role when the Pirates open their series against the Reds on Monday.

Pirates' Jared Triolo: Moving into reserve role
Rotowire
Triolo is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Tigers.
Triolo had served as the Pirates' primary second baseman for most of the season before seeing most of his action at third base over the past three weeks while Ke'Bryan Hayes was on the injured list. Nick Gonzales took over at second base while Hayes was out, and after handily outperforming Triolo at the plate during that stretch, Gonzales appears to have taken over Triolo's everyday role after Hayes was reinstated from the IL on Tuesday. Even though he had started in all but five of the Pirates' first 54 games of the season, Triolo hadn't delivered much fantasy value with a .203 average, three home runs, four stolen bases, 18 RBI and 12 runs. Now that he's likely moving into a part-time role, Triolo may struggle to offer much utility even in NL-only leagues.

Pirates' Jared Triolo: Pops third homer
Rotowire
Triolo went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Friday against Atlanta.
Triolo has struggled at the plate for much of the season, though Friday's long ball was his second in his last seven games. He's also hit .280 with four runs scored and six RBI in that span. So long as Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) is sidelined, Triolo should remain the primary starter at third base for Pittsburgh.

Pirates' Jared Triolo: Collects steal Sunday
Rotowire
Triolo went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Cubs.
Triolo has gone 5-for-11 with four strikeouts over his last three games. Prior to this burst of offense, he went just 2-for-30 with an 8:13 BB:K over a 10-game stretch. The infielder is slashing a poor .212/.297/.265 with two home runs, four steals, 15 RBI, eight runs scored and two doubles over 172 plate appearances this season. While those numbers aren't great, Triolo appears set to maintain a starting role at third base as long as Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) is out.

Pirates' Jared Triolo: Homer, three RBI in win
Rotowire
Triolo went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and an additional RBI in Friday's 9-3 win over the Cubs.
Triolo opened the scoring in the third inning with a two-run shot off Kyle Hendricks before driving in a third run with a base hit in the fourth. It's the first multi-hit game since May 3 for Triolo -- he'd gone just 2-for-30 in his prior 10 contests. The 26-year-old infielder is slashing .201/.291/.257 with two homers, 15 RBI, eight runs scored and three steals through 41 games this season. With Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) set to resume baseball activities early next week, Triolo could soon be headed back to a bench role.

Pirates' Jared Triolo: Struggling in Hayes' absence
Rotowire
Triolo went 0-for-3 with a strikeout Tuesday against the Brewers.
Even with Nick Gonzales in the majors, Triolo has continued to serve as an everyday player for the Pirates while playing third base in the absence of Ke'Bryan Hayes (back). Triolo's playing time is likely to be in jeopardy once Hayes can return, however, as he has only two hits across his last 27 at-bats and has just a .521 OPS in 157 plate appearances for the season.

Pirates' Jared Triolo: Batting leadoff Tuesday
Rotowire
Triolo will start at second base and bat leadoff Tuesday versus the Tigers, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
Triolo hadn't previously batted higher than sixth this season, but he's perched atop the batting order in this one against righty Casey Mize while Oneil Cruz gets a breather. The 26-year-old is hitting .275/.356/.375 in his first 10 games this season.
