Pirates Struggle with Injuries, Hope Remains | Pittsburgh Pirates News
Description
Pirates’ offense takes a hit as catcher Endy Rodriguez goes on the IL with a glute strain, just days after Konnor Griffin’s extended absence—forcing Rafael Flores Jr. into the lineup. Rodriguez, a key spark since his May return with a .260 average and 16 RBIs, has battled injuries since joining the team, including Tommy John. But the Pirates aren’t down: Ryan O’Hearn’s three-homer, 10-RBI game broke a nine-game skid, and Esmerlyn Valdez is having a breakout season. With just three games behind the wild card, Pittsburgh is poised for a playoff push—and could be active at the trade deadline.
