The Pirates are counting on Ryan O’Hearn’s return this September after a left quad strain sidelined him since August—his second soft tissue injury this season. Batting .270 with 17 homers and 69 RBIs before getting hurt, O’Hearn’s power and consistency are sorely missed. Rehabbing in Bradenton, he’s already back to light baseball activities, and GM Ben Cherington says progress is positive, though he won’t be ready for the next homestand. Meanwhile, rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin is also rehabbing nearby, benefiting from top-notch facilities. If O’Hearn returns by late September, it could be a major lift as Pittsburgh pushes toward the finish line.
