Griffin Returns as Pirates Push Forward | Pittsburgh Pirates News
Description
Konnor Griffin, Pittsburgh’s top prospect sidelined since July fifth with a finger injury, is nearing a return—set to join Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday after a solid seven-inning outing with Double-A Altoona. Eligible to come off the IL Friday, Sept. 4, right before a home series against the Angels, his comeback could be perfectly timed. Before the injury, he was tearing it up: .276 batting average, 5 homers, 25 RBIs, and 20 steals in 59 games. His absence has left a void at shortstop, as replacements haven’t matched his impact. With the Pirates still in playoff contention, Griffin’s return in September offers a vital chance to assess his readiness—and future potential—for the big leagues.
