Brandon Lowe Scratched From Lineup With Lower-Body Tightness

Brandon Lowe was scratched from Wednesday's Grapefruit League lineup against the Orioles due to lower-body tightness. According to the Pirates' medical staff, the move is considered precautionary, and Lowe is expected to participate in a normal practice session at camp on Wednesday. Acquired in a three-team trade in December, Lowe is projected to serve as the Pirates' primary second baseman this season, though he may see limited action against left-handed pitching.
