Kicking off rehab Tuesday O'Hearn (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact O'Hearn has not played in a game since he went down with a left quad strain in late July, but he's been cleared to test things out at the Pirates' top minor-league affiliate. The 31-year-old is aiming to be reinstated to the active roster ahead of this weekend's series at Wrigley Field against the Cubs.

Closing in on rehab assignment Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said Sunday that he's hopeful that O'Hearn (quadriceps) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment "early-ish" during the upcoming week, Dann...

Impact On the shelf since Aug. 1 due to a left quad strain, O'Hearn resumed taking part in light baseball activities just over two weeks later after sustaining the injury and recently moved his rehab program to Pittsburgh. O'Hearn appears to have steered clear of any setbacks while ramping up and is now ready to move on to the final phase of his recovery by getting in some competitive at-bats in minor-league games. The 31-year-old is believed to be targeting a return from the injured list during next weekend's series in Chicago versus the Cubs, but the Pirates will wait and see how he fares on his rehab assignment before deciding when he'll be activated.

Targets return versus Cubs next week O'Hearn (quadriceps) is aiming to be activated from the 10-day injured list for the Pirates' Sept. 11-13 series against the Cubs, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Impact O'Hearn has been ramping up baseball activities as he works his way back from a left quad strain, noting Thursday of his rehab that there's "still a ways to go but I'm trending in the right direction." The 33-year-old has missed the last five weeks of action, so he will likely require a few rehab games before rejoining the Pirates' active roster.

Resumes light baseball activities O'Hearn (quadriceps) has been cleared to play catch and take some swings in the batting cage, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's been almost three weeks since O'Hearn landed on the 10-day injured list with a left quad strain, and he's been cleared to re-incorporate some light baseball activities. O'Hearn will report to the Pirates' spring training complex in Florida later this week to continue ramping up his rehab. He was given a 6-to-8 week timeline when he went down, and it would seem O'Hearn has a good shot to be back on a shorter end of that timetable.

Out 6-to-8 weeks The Pirates placed O'Hearn on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left quad strain, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact O'Hearn had to be helped off the field Friday after tweaking his quad while running to first base, and he's expected to remain on the shelf for roughly 6-to-8 weeks after being diagnosed with a strain. His initial timeline leaves room for him to return during the final weeks of the regular season, but the Pirates could elect to keep him out for the rest of the year depending on where they sit in the race for a postseason berth when he gets close to being fully healthy. Until then, Jacob Gonzalez figures to see more time at first base, and Rafael Flores (concussion) will come off the IL to fill the open roster spot.

Helped off field O'Hearn was removed from Friday's game against the Reds with an apparent quad injury, Dominic Campbell of SI.com reports.

Impact O'Hearn was grabbing at his left quad while attempting to beat out a groundball in the ninth inning, and he had to be helped off the field by the Pirates' training staff. He'll presumably be sent in for imaging, and the team could provide an update on his health in the near future. If he ends up needing to miss additional time, Jacob Gonzalez would presumably shift to first base, opening up shortstop for Jared Triolo.

Grand slam against Cubs O'Hearn went 1-for-2 with a grand slam, two walks and two runs scored Sunday against the Cubs.

Impact O'Hearn broke the game open with a grand slam in the third inning, his 17th home run of the season. He's now matched his career-best homer total -- previously set in 2025 -- but he's reached the mark in 169 fewer plate appearances in the current campaign. O'Hearn has slumped for much of July, and he's gone only 6-for-31 since the All-Star break.
