Griffin Near Return, Cruz Back | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Pirates’ injury woes are turning around as star outfielder Oneil Cruz returns and young phenom Konnor Griffin, sidelined by a finger injury, is on track to come back in just three weeks—ahead of schedule and ready to swing and steal. At just 20, Griffin’s already mashed seven homers and swiped 20 bases in 59 games, and his return could energize the team as they host the Angels. With both key players healthy, Pittsburgh’s playoff hopes may be slipping—but their future looks brighter than ever.
