## Resource

Konnor Griffin is expected to miss most of the rest of the season, and that leaves the Pirates with a serious infield depth problem. Alex Stumpf breaks down why the Pirates made the right call with Griffin, why Jared Triolo and Nick Gonzales are being stretched defensively, and why Ben Cherington may need to leave the trade deadline with another infielder.
