Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Connor Joe will man right field and will be leading off for the Pirates Opening Day game on Thursday against the Miami Marlins. Joe will get the call as the Pirates face southpaw Jesus Luzardo. If the 31-year-old can get off to a hot start, he could be the everyday leadoff man against left-handed pitchers this year.
Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/outfielder Connor Joe is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Washington Nationals and right-hander Jackson Rutledge, who is making his MLB debut this evening in Pittsburgh. Joe got the starting nod at first base on Tuesday but had a tough night, going 0-for-4 with a walk while stranding a whopping eight Pirates baserunners. There's little doubt that Joe has been far more productive against southpaws than he has against right-handers, considering his .824 OPS, .358 wOBA, and 123 wRC+ off lefties but only a .688 OPS, .302 wOBA, and below-average 86 wRC+ off righties. Alfonso Rivas will take over at first base and hit eighth Wednesday night.
Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/outfielder Connor Joe is slashing .357/.446/.643 with two home runs, eight RBI, 13 runs scored, and a stolen base over 17 games in 2023. He has been wielding a hot bat recently and logged a multi-hit effort in three of his last five games. The 30-year-old continues to hit in the middle of Pittsburgh's lineup that has exceeded expectations so far this season. Joe's 53.5% hard-hit percentage in 2023 is in the 91 percentile, up about 20 points from last season (33.8% in 2022). The Pirates are set to take on Reds' right-hander Hunter Greene in Sunday's matchup. Joe should be added in all league formats while swinging a hot bat and makes an intriguing DFS option at his DraftKings price tag of $4,100 for Sunday's main DFS slate.
