Suwinski signed a one-year, $1.25 million contract with the Pirates on Thursday, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. Suwinski struggled to get in a groove at the plate in the majors in 2025, finishing the season with just a .534 OPS through 178 plate appearances. He turned in a .954 OPS across 230 plate appearances at Triple-A Indianapolis, however, which was good enough to earn him a $465,000 raise and another year in the organization. The 27-year-old finished the year as Pittsburgh's primary left fielder but is sure to face some competition during spring training.

Suwinski went 2-for-3 with an RBI on Saturday against Atlanta. Suwinski delivered an RBI in the sixth inning to put the Pirates up 3-1. He's had an abysmal offensive season and spent much of the year in the minors, though he has at least one hit in five of his last seven games. Suwinski has closed the season as the Pirates' primary left fielder against right-handed pitching, though he's likely to face significant competition for a roster spot to begin 2026.

Suwinski is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cincinnati. Suwinski had started five of the past six games against right-handed pitching, but he'll begin this one on the bench as the Reds send righty Hunter Greene to the bump. Tommy Pham will play right field and bat sixth for the Pirates.

Suwinski is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals. Suwinski had started each of the last three games and six of the previous seven, but he's likely to serve as more of a fourth outfielder for Pittsburgh heading into the final month of the season after center fielder Oneil Cruz returned from the injured list Tuesday. However, with the Pirates handing more frequent days off to veterans Andrew McCutchen and Tommy Pham down the stretch, Suwinski could still be in store for a handful of starts per week.

Suwinski is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays. The left-handed-hitting Suwinski has been drawing regular starts against right-handed pitching of late, but he'll head to the bench Monday while the Blue Jays send righty Kevin Gausman to the hill. With Suwinski getting the night off in the series opener, Alexander Canario will cover center field and will bat seventh.
