O'Hearn Near Return to Pirates | MLB News
Description
Ryan O’Hearn is on the verge of returning to the Pittsburgh Pirates after a left quad strain sidelined him since July 31 — and he’s ahead of schedule. The team plans to send him on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis this week, with GM Ben Cherington optimistic about his timeline. O’Hearn, who was helped off the field trying to beat out a ground ball, avoided the 60-day IL, keeping his return window open. While he’s already been working with the team on batting practice and light running, the rehab stint will be critical to assess his timing, feel, and physical readiness before activating him. He could potentially rejoin the Pirates during their next road trip — but health comes first.
