## Resource

Pirates’ leadoff hitter Spencer Horwitz is out for weeks after a hamstring injury, potentially missing nearly a month of play — including the crucial stretch before the All-Star break. His absence hits hard, as he’s been a vital offensive and defensive force this season. With a brutal slate of games against playoff contenders looming, the Pirates now face a tough challenge to maintain momentum without their key bat.
