Austin Meadows. - MATT SUNDAY / DKPS

Austin Meadows is out of the lineup for the sixth time in the past seven games, and the Pirates are determining whether or not they should keep the former top prospect on their 25-man roster.

With Wade Miley, a left-hander, on the mound for the Brewers Thursday night, Clint Hurdle chose to start Jordan Luplow over Meadows for a second consecutive game.
