Pierzynski was 3-for-3 with two solo homers in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over the Nationals.

Pierzynski launched gopher balls off of Tanner Roark in the fourth and seventh innings, extending his modest hitting streak to seven games. The 38-year-old backstop celebrated his first multi-homer game of 2015, and fifth multi-hit outing of September. Pierzyski is finishing off his 17-year career with a productive season at the plate, posting a .299/.336/.429 line over 404 at-bats.

Pierzynski (shoulder) is back in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Pierzynski missed a start Saturday, but that could very well have been more the left-handed starter on the mound for the Marlins than shoulder troubles for the 38-year-old. He'll bat cleanup as the Braves take on Marlins starter Tom Koehler.

Pierzynski (shoulder) is not in the lineup Saturday.

Pierzynski was already slated to sit out Saturday's game with lefty Justin Nicolino set to take the mound for the Marlins, however his status will certainly bear monitoring come Sunday when the 38-year-old could play against right-hander Tom Koehler.

Pierzynski left Friday's game with a bruised shoulder but could be available for Sunday's game, David O'Brien of the AJC reports.

Pierzynski was already expected to have the day off Saturday with a left-hander on the mound for the Marlins, but it appears Friday's shoulder injury won't keep him out long. If he sits out Sunday, Christian Bethancourt would likely step in behind the plate for Atlanta.

Pierzynski is not in the lineup Friday against the Phillies.

Pierzynski has been alternating starts with Christian Bethancourt for most of the month, a trend that will continue Friday. Bethancourt will get the start behind the plate and bat eighth.

Pierzynski will get the start on Thursday against the Blue Jays.

He will bat clean up against Toronto. Pierzynski has been alternating starts with defensive catcher Christian Bethancourt for much of September, a trend likely to continue throughout the rest of the season. While Bethancourt figures to be the future behind the plate for the Braves, Pierzynski's surprising numbers this season (.296/.335/.418 in 371 at-bats) certainly command attention for daily fantasy players.

Pierzynski is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets.

The Braves have been alternating the starts at catcher between Pierzynski and the more defensive-minded Christian Bethancourt during the last week, a trend that figures to continue through season's end. Bethancourt is believed to be the Braves' long-term solution behind the plate, but thanks to his surprising .292/.331/.411 line this season, Pierzynski remains a factor at catcher.

Pierzynski is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Pierzynski will receive the day off following three straight starts behind the plate. With the veteran off, Christian Bethancourt will once again take on the duties behind the plate, batting seventh for the Braves.

Pierzynski is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Saturday's absence marks Pierzynski's third straight and fifth in the team's last six games. The 38-year-old has put together a very strong campaign, but with the Braves in evaluation mode, it seems likely Christian Bethancourt will continue to see the lion's share of the starts down the stretch.

Pierzynski is out of the lineup again Monday against the Rockies, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Consitution reports.

Pierzynski will yield his second straight start behind the plate, this time to the newly-recalled Chrisian Bethancourt. While Pierzynski should still see some starts in September, it wouldn't be surprising if Bethancourt receives his fair share so the Braves can begin to evaluate the future of the position.

Pierzynski is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cubs, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Pierzynski continued his improbably resurgent season with a 3-for-4, two-RBI showing Saturday afternoon, but he'll receive a day off Sunday after starting the first three games of the series. Ryan Lavarnway will step in to serve as the catcher for starting pitcher Matt Wisler.

Pierzynski is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Padres.

Pierzynski continues to receive regular rest given his age and position, and will take the day game off Wednesday. Ryan Lavarnway will receive the start in his place, batting eighth for the Braves.

Pierzynski went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's win over Miami.

Pierzynski is a tough man to get out right now, batting .385 with a .423 OBP over the past month. At 38 years old, Pierzynski is supposed to be on the decline, but he is on pace to set career highs in both average and on-base percentage.

After starting each of the previous six games, Pierzynski will receive a deserved rest for Sunday's matinee, with Ryan Lavarnway handling the catching duties. Pierzynski is riding a seven-game hit streak, which has boosted his average 17 points up to .294 for the season.

Pierzynski went 3-for-4 with a double in Friday's loss to the Phillies.

The aging catcher owns a seven-game hitting streak to continue what has been a surprisingly excellent season at the dish. He's now slashing .294/.331/.434 on the campaign while taking the reins of the Braves' starting catcher job. With Atlanta building for the future in the midst of a losing season, don't be surprise if Pierzynski is placed on waivers in August as the team looks to negotiate a trade of the catcher to a contending club in need of added depth behind the plate.

Pierzynski is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals.

It appears to be a normal day off for Pierzynski, who had started the Braves' previous three games. He was quite productive during that stretch, batting 4-for-9 with two walks, boosting his season average to .286 and his on-base percentage to .326. Ryan Lavarnway will handle the catching duties Sunday.

Pierzynski is not in the lineup against the Rockies on Saturday.

With lefty Jorge De La Rosa set to take the mound for Colorado, the 38-year-old will get the day off once again. Ryan Lavarnway, who will bat eighth in the lineup, will man the backstop.

It's not a big surprise that the veteran Pierzynski will receive a day game following a night game off. Ryan Lavarnway will start behind the dish in his place, batting eighth for the Braves.

Pierzynski went 3-for-4 with a homer and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Brewers.

The homer was Pierzynski's second of July and sixth of the season. He seems to be seeing the ball well at the moment to put it mildly, having collected three or more hits in each of his last three games to raise his average from .258 to .289. However, he could be due for a day off Thursday after starting four straight, with an early-afternoon game on tap.
