Griffin Back! Pirates Get Big Hitter | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Pirates’ top prospect Konnor Griffin is back—officially off the 60-day IL after a torn sagittal band sidelined him since July. A former 1st-round pick, Griffin was lighting up the minors with a .276 average, 5 homers, 25 RBIs, and 20 steals in just 225 at-bats. To make room, Christian Bethancourt was DFA’d, while Isaac Mattson was called up and Brandon Eisert sent down. With Jared Jones on the mound tonight against the Angels, expect Griffin’s lineup spot to be announced soon—this return could seriously shift the Pirates’ momentum as they push for a strong finish.
