Konner Griffin Out 8-10 Weeks With Injured Left Hand

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin is back on the injured list. The club says the 20-year-old is expected to miss at least two months due to an injury to the knuckle of the ring finger on his left hand. Griffin sustained the injury while making a diving grab in a victory over Washington on Sunday. Griffin has been a standout for the Pirates this season, hitting .276 with five homers and 20 stolen bases in 59 games. Jared Triolo will fill in at shortstop. Pittsburgh called up infielder Jack Brannigan from Triple-A Indianapolis to take Griffin’s spot on the roster.
