Griffin Heads to Florida for Rehab | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Pirates rookie Konnor Griffin is inching back toward action after a six-week layoff from a finger injury, set to ramp up rehab in Bradenton with light swings and a September 4 return target — just as he’s recovering from a prior elbow issue. Despite missing key games, his .276 batting average, five homers, and 20 steals have made him a vital shortstop, and the team’s 18-21 record without him speaks to his impact. He’s eager to rejoin the squad — and so are the Pirates, who’ll also send outfielder Ryan O’Hearn (quad strain) to Florida for rehab. Manager Don Kelly remains optimistic both players will soon be back in the lineup. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
