Southpaw Alex Wood will toe the slab Tuesday for the A's, forcing Suwinski's left-handed bat out of the lineup. Edward Olivares will start in right field instead and bat fifth.
Suwinski is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Pirates' Jack Suwinski: Yet to get on track
Rotowire
Suwinski went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Brewers.
Suwinski delivered an RBI double in the fifth inning and came around to score to give the Pirates the lead. It was his second consecutive start with a double, but he had only five hits in 24 at-bats across a seven-game homestand. Suwinski has cut his strikeout rate to 17.2 percent -- down from 32.2 percent in 2023 -- but that has yet to lead to positive results, as he's batting .183 with two home runs across 93 plate appearances.
