Kevin Newman Stats

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Kevin Newman finished 2-for-5 with a run scored in a 5-1 loss to the Reds on Wednesday night. It was his second multi-hit performance in his last five games, as he is now hitting 6-for-22 with a triple, one RBI and four runs scored in that span. It looks like he may be starting to heat up after a slow start to the season, as he is now slashing .208/.238/.267 in 33 games. He'll need to continue to show improvement at the plate before managers in any format should even consider rostering him.

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Kevin Newman launched his first home run of the season on Saturday, finishing 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in the win over the Twins. After putting up a ridiculous .606/.641/.788 triple-slash line in 13 games this spring, Newman's bat has gone ice cold to start the year as he is now slashing .176/.208/.250 with two doubles, one home run and four RBI. Managers can hope that his home run could trigger a resurgence at the plate for Newman, but until we see more signs of that he should remain on the waiver-wire.

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Kevin Newman is not in the lineup on Monday for the series opener with the Reds. After a blistering Spring Training in which he slashed .606/.641/.788 in 13 games, Newman has come back down to earth to start the regular season as he is just 3-for-13 with one RBI and a strikeout through his first three games. This is likely just a day off for Newman, as Erik Gonzalez will get the start at short today and bat fifth against Cincinnati starter Jose De Leon.
