Konnor Griffin Reinstated From Injured List on Friday
Pittsburgh Pirates rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin (forearm) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday ahead of his team's weekend set against the Cincinnati Reds. Griffin has been sidelined since late May due to a flexor strain in his throwing arm. Across 208 plate appearances before the injury, the 20-year-old hit .270/.327/.402 with four home runs, 22 RBI, 30 runs scored, and 14 stolen bases. However, Griffin was starting to come into his own at the plate before going down, hitting .306 with an .820 OPS across 108 plate appearances in May. Griffin appeared in a rehab game at Double-A on Wednesday and looked ready to go, hitting a home run and driving in three runs. As long as the injury is behind him, Griffin profiles as an elite source of speed and a high-upside bat across the other four categories upon his return.
