Pittsburgh Pirates rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin is beginning a rehabilitation assignment with Double-A Altoona on Sunday. The 20-year-old baseball player, who is on the 60-day injured list due to a left ring finger sagittal band injury, was originally placed on the 10-day injured list on July 7 (with retroactive effect from July 6).
He was later moved to the 60-day injured list four days later. The injury occurred during a defensive play in a game against the Washington Nationals on July 5. Griffin traveled to Bradenton, Florida, on August 19 to resume baseball activities after taking off the splint required to immobilize his injury. Griffin has played in 59 games this season as a rookie and has a batting average of .276/.332/.404.
He has hit 10 doubles, 2 triples, 5 home runs, 25 RBI, and 20 stolen bases. Jared Triolo (.630 OPS) and Jacob Gonzalez (.615 OPS) have been sharing shortstop duties while Griffin was away.
