Summary
Konnor Griffin, MLB’s top prospect and just 20, is back on the field for the Pittsburgh Pirates after a right elbow strain, poised to ignite their offense as they chase a playoff push. Activated Friday, Griffin was hitting .270 with 4 homers and 9 doubles in 51 games — and his return could be the spark the Pirates need to climb from fourth place, 9.5 games behind. To make room, infielder Jack Brannigan was sent down to Double-A, signaling confidence in Griffin’s readiness. The Pirates’ Friday night showdown against the Reds kicks off at 6:40 PM ET — and fans are eager to see if the young phenom can deliver.
