Cespedes is not in the lineup Thursday against the Pirates, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports. Daniel Nava will take over in left field Thursday, as Cespedes sits after going 1-for-7 in the first two games of the series. Cespedes has now gone 24 games without a home run, after hitting four in his first 19 appearances with the Red Sox.
