Griffin Returns as Pirates Push for Playoffs | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Konnor Griffin’s return is a shot in the arm for the Pittsburgh Pirates, who’re clinging to playoff hopes with just 21 games left. The rookie sensation, sidelined since July with a finger injury, has cleared all tests—including impressive grip strength—and is ready to roar back into action. In just 59 games this season, he’s mashed five homers, swiped 20 bases, and driven in 25 runs while batting .276. With the Pirates five games out of the final wild-card spot and facing the Angels, Griffin’s energy and talent could be the spark they need to make a late-season push—and end their long playoff drought.
