Pirates' Griffin Out 8-10 Weeks With Finger Injury

Pittsburgh Pirates rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin will miss 8 to 10 weeks after being placed on the 10-day injured list with a left ring finger injury.

Griffin suffered the injury during a victory over the Washington Nationals on Sunday and will wear a splint for six weeks. The 20-year-old is currently hitting .276 with five home runs and 25 RBIs this season.

Jared Triolo will handle shortstop duties in Griffin's absence, as Pittsburgh also recalled infielder Jack Brannigan from Triple-A Indianapolis. librea.one
