Taking seat versus lefty
Pinango is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.
Analysis
The left-handed-hitting Pinango went 4-for-16 with a solo home run and a walk while starting the past four games for Toronto, but he'll hit the bench Monday as the Yankees send a southpaw (Ryan Weathers) to the bump. Davis Schneider will replace Pinango in left field and bat ninth.

Belts first big-league homer
Pinango went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Tigers.
Analysis
The rookie outfielder took Kyle Finnegan deep in the seventh inning to get the Blue Jays on the board and give Pinango his first career homer in the majors. He's seeing regular playing time against right-handed pitching with Addison Barger (elbow) back on the IL, and through his first 15 games with Toronto, Pinango is slashing .364/.404/.477 with two doubles, three runs and seven RBI.
