| Cleanup spot bad news for Alvarez: Pirates manager Clint Hurdle opted to hold struggling hitters Pedro Alvarez and Jose Tabata out of the starting lineup Wednesday against the Mets. Coupled with an off day on Thursday, Hurdle hopes this is the rest both starters need. "Maybe that combination will help them get their legs back under them," Hurdle said. (Updated 05/23/2012) |

| Fantasy Analysis |
| Hurdle might learn a valuable lesson to not mess with success because Alvarez has been terrible since moving into the cleanup spot on May 5. He's mired in a 7-for-54 slump, which has followed a 12-game run that saw Alvarez bat .395 with five homers and 13 RBI. Alvarez has had most of his success batting fifth or sixth, so perhaps Hurdle will consider moving him down the lineup again to help break him out of this slump. Alvarez is back to being a low-end Fantasy option until he heats up again. (Updated 05/23/2012). |
