Polanco will bat second and start in right field Friday despite slashing .150/.268/.400 in his last 71 plate appearances.
Pittsburgh continues to bat him second in the lineup despite a 1-for-23 slide while hitting exclusively in the No. 2 spot over the last six games. The team sat Polanco on Wednesday, but the rest did him little good against the Phillies and red-hot starter Jake Arrieta. The outfielder went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts Thursday.
