Griffin’s Finger Injury Hits Pirates Hard | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Pirates’ rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin faces a brutal setback with a torn tendon in his left ring finger, potentially sidelining him for a month or more — a major blow for a player hitting .276 with 5 homers and 25 RBIs in just 59 games. While he might play through it, experts warn it’s too risky for a 20-year-old in his first MLB season. The smart move? Let him heal properly. Recovery could see him back by late August or September — just in time for a playoff push. For now, Pittsburgh must find ways to win without their rising star.
