Swipes 16th bag Griffin went 1-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base Wednesday against the Phillies.

Impact Griffin hit atop the Pirates' order for the fifth time in the last six games since being activated from the injured list, and he also has reached base in all but one of those contests. On Wednesday, he collected a single in the third inning and proceeded to steal his 16th base of the season, and his second since being activated. Griffin's performance was mixed, however, as he also stranded two runners in scoring position.

Expected back from IL on Friday The Pirates will activate Griffin (forearm) from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game against the Reds, Aiden Stepansky of MLB.com reports.

Impact Griffin has been sidelined for all of June after being diagnosed with a flexor strain. He played just one rehab game with Double-A Altoona, reaching base in all four plate appearances which included a home run and a triple. Griffin played shortstop in that contest for Altoona, so it does not appear the Pirates will ease the rookie back into things at designated hitter. The 20-year-old was slashing .270/.327/.402 with four home runs and 14 stolen bases in 51 games before getting hurt.
