Pirates SS Konnor Griffin Out 8-10 Weeks

The Pittsburgh Pirates placed rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, ruling him out for 8 to 10 weeks due to a ring finger injury.

The 20-year-old suffered the injury during Sunday's game against Washington after recording two hits. He will wear a splint for six weeks before resuming baseball activities.

Jared Triolo will likely fill in at shortstop while Griffin recovers. Manager Don Kelly praised Griffin's impact this season, where he hit .276 with five home runs and 20 stolen bases. sports24.club
