    Hayes isn't starting Saturday against the Cubs due to lower back discomfort, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

    Hayes is on the bench for a third consecutive matchup Saturday, but it's encouraging that he's served as a pinch hitter in recent days. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 25-year-old available off the bench once again, and he should be considered day-to-day for now.
