Kevin Newman Activated, Could Play Some Outfield
6 years agoPittsburgh Pirates shortstop Kevin Newman (finger) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday, and he could see some time in the outfield upon his return. Prior to last year, Newman had primarily played shortstop in the minors, but he saw some appearances in the outfield during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis. He is hitting just .233/.343/.300 in 35 plate appearances this year and will likely just be a utility player with Cole Tucker handling everyday duties at the 6. For now, Newman should be avoided in most fantasy formats.
