Dealing with minor knock Frazier is absent from workouts for the second straight day Friday with an groin injury, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact Manager Derek Shelton said Frazier was "a little dinged up" but didn't specify exactly when the injury occurred. This doesn't sound like anything more than normal wear and tear, and he still has more than a month to prepare for Opening Day, so there doesn't seem to be much reason to worry.

Never actually suffered fracture Polanco clarified Thursday that he didn't fracture his wrist over the winter, contrary to previous reports, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
Impact Polanco did suffered some sort of minor wrist injury during winter ball, but it wasn't as bad as a fracture. That's a positive sign regarding his readiness for the upcoming season, though his performance questions are just as significant as his health questions. He's hit just .197/.257/.374 over the last two years.

Impact Alford is on the mend from September surgery to address a fractured right elbow. The Pirates were anticipating that he would be a full participant for spring training, but Alford apparently needs more time to build up in his throwing program. Pittsburgh could still allow Alford to participate in Grapefruit League games as a designated hitter until the coaching staff is confident in his ability to play the outfield.

Ready for new season Kuhl is healthy after dealing with an assortment of injuries during his first season back from Tommy John surgery in 2020, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
Impact Kuhl went 2-3 with a 4.27 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 46.1 innings in 2020. Subtract the Pirates' 11-0 loss at Kansas City on Sept. 13 -- when Kuhl, bothered by a bleeding blister and cuticle, allowed nine earned runs on four hits and six walks in 2.1 innings -- and his ERA drops to 2.77. The righty's fastball velocity (94.1 mph) dipped slightly in 2020, but he nearly doubled his slider usage (34.9 percent) while relying on his fastball less than ever (43.9 percent). While Kuhl has a chance to outperform his expected performance, he did benefit from a .235 BABIP against him last season, well lower than his .305 career mark.
