Pirates Star SS Konnor Griffin Suffers Finger Injury; Expected To Miss 8–10 Weeks

Begins running progression Horwitz (hamstring) has begun a running program at the Pirates' spring training complex in Florida, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Impact Horwitz strained his left hamstring two weeks ago but has been cleared to kick off his running progression. If the first baseman is able to advance his rehab without any hiccups, he could begin a rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break and return before the end of July.

On track to return by end of July Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said Sunday that Horwitz (hamstring) is progressing well and will hopefully return from the 10-day injured list at some point shortly after t...

Impact Horwitz landed on the IL on June 25 after suffering a left hamstring strain but already seems to be making positive strides in his recovery process, as he recently reported to the Pirates' facility in Florida to begin a rehab program. Cherington suggested that Horwitz is unlikely to be activated when the Pirates open their second-half schedule July 17 in Cleveland, but the 28-year-old first baseman may be ready to begin a minor-league rehab assignment around that time. If that's the case, Horwitz could be on track to return from the IL before the end of July.

Eyeing return after All-Star break Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said Sunday that Horwitz's (hamstring) recovery timeline is being measured in "weeks, not days," and the first baseman isn't expected to retu...

Impact Pittsburgh placed Horwitz on the shelf Thursday, and Cherington's comments would seem to imply that the 28-year-old is dealing with more than a mild strain of his left hamstring. Ryan O'Hearn will make a fourth consecutive start at first base Sunday and should serve as the primary option at the position until at least mid-to-late July while Horwitz is on the mend. Before getting hurt, Horwitz had settled in as the Pirates' leadoff hitter and had slashed .280/.386/.455 with a 40:40 BB:K, 10 home runs, 33 RBI and 36 runs on the season.

Pirates place Spencer Horwitz on the 10-day injured list

The Pittsburgh Pirates have placed first baseman Spencer Horwitz on the 10-day injured list because of a left hamstring injury

JUNE 25 • Associated Press

Move to IL made official The Pirates placed Horwitz (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left hamstring strain.

Impact Horwitz was hurt during Wednesday's win over the Mariners. There's no word yet on the severity of the strain, so more will be known about a timeline for a return soon. Horwitz will be eligible for activation in early July, but with the All-Star break looming, there's a good chance Horwitz is shelved until the second half even if his strain is mild.

Heading to injured list The Pirates are expected to place Horwitz (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Impact Horwitz was lifted from Wednesday's game against the Mariners because of left hamstring discomfort. It's unclear at this point how severe the strain is, but even a mild one could knock Horwitz out through the All-Star break. While Horwitz is sidelined, the Pirates will likely use Ryan O'Hearn at first base and Marcell Ozuna at designated hitter most days.
