The Pirates scratched catcher Francisco Cervelli from their Sunday lineup due to flu-like symptoms.
Austin Meadows, who is starting in left field, will take Cervelli’s spot as the No. 2 hitter in the order. Elias Diaz will catch and bat seventh, while Gregory Polanco was moved up to the sixth spot.
The team made the announcement shortly before game time.
