Griffin Out Again, Pirates Struggle | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Pirates’ top prospect Konnor Griffin’s comeback was cut short again—this time with a torn tendon in his left ring finger, sidelining him for at least a month and pushing his return to early August. The 20-year-old, who’d just returned from a forearm strain and was showing elite promise, suffered the injury during a diving catch but stayed in the game and even hit a key RBI. With star infielders Oneil Cruz and Spencer Horwitz already on the shelf, losing Griffin deepens the team’s offensive and defensive woes. The Pirates are opting for rehab over playing through the pain, prioritizing long-term health. Now, the organization must rely on depth to fill the void as they navigate a tough stretch.
