Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin has a torn tendon in his left ring finger and could miss at least a month, a source told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. The club has not confirmed the injury.
The rookie could opt to play through the injury, per Feinsand, but an IL stint is the most likely course of action.
It's unclear exactly when Griffin injured the finger. He had the hand checked by a trainer in the dugout after a diving catch in Sunday's game, but Griffin told reporters after the game that the finger was fine.
Griffin, the ninth overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, already missed about a month this season with a right forearm strain. Since returning June 26, he's hit .306 with a .776 OPS. Overall this season, he's hitting .276 with five homers and a .736 OPS.
The finger injury would be the latest blow for the Pirates' lineup, which is already missing sluggers Oneil Cruz and Spencer Horwitz.
