Pirates' left fielder Corey Dickerson sits with shoulder soreness
JB Shuck, who was hitless in seven plate appearances over the first three games, made his second start of the season Wednesday when left fielder Corey Dickerson was rested with right shoulder soreness.
Shuck started in center field Thursday in Cincinnati when Starling Marte complained of a migraine. Dickerson had two hits — a home run and double — in his first 12 at-bats this season
He is listed as day-to-day, but he was available Wednesday to pinch-hit, if necessary, according to Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk.
