Injury
The Pirates rookie shortstop is recovering from a right forearm strain and expects to resume throwing soon.
Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin is working toward a return from a right forearm strain and hopes to begin a throwing program in the near term. The 20-year-old rookie, in his first MLB season, has appeared in 27 games with a .232 average (22-95) and 2 home runs.
No specific timeline for his return was provided. Griffin's injury removes a young depth piece from Pittsburgh's shortstop mix during the stretch toward the All-Star break and trade deadline.
