Episode Details

Pirates’ star rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin is sidelined again—this time with a knuckle injury on his left ring finger, expected to miss 8-10 weeks. Already sidelined in June with a forearm strain, Griffin has been a force when healthy, slashing .276 with 5 homers and 20 steals in 59 games. Manager Don Kelly says injuries are part of the game and expects Griffin to return stronger. With the team at 46-45 and fighting for a postseason spot, Jared Triolo steps in at shortstop while Jack Brannigan is called up from Triple-A to fill the roster spot. Griffin’s absence adds to a growing injury list that already includes Oneil Cruz and Spencer Horwitz.
