Suwinski is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest against the Marlins, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
The Pirates have faced a lefty in each of the first two games of the season and Suwinski has been on the bench both times. Suwinski did get two plate appearances Thursday after entering as a pinch hitter and will be an option as a replacement again Friday. Edward Olivares is in right field.
