Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin is expected to miss approximately 8 to 10 weeks after suffering a torn finger tendon, according to Yahoo Sports. The injury affects the team’s starting shortstop, leaving the Pirates to play without him for an extended stretch of games. Both reports indicate the expected timeline places Griffin’s return in September. The Pirates will need to use other options at shortstop during his absence while Griffin recovers. No additional details about the cause of the injury or the specific treatment are provided in the accounts. The reporting consistently characterizes Griffin as a key player for the club and frames the injury as one that will keep him sidelined for about two months. As the expected recovery window approaches, the team will monitor his progress and determine his readiness to return to game action in September.
