Konnor Griffin

PIT Shortstop #85

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Pirates SS/OF prospect Konnor Griffin went 3-for-5 with an inside-the-park home run, three RBI and one stolen base on Saturday for Low-A Bradenton.

Griffin’s phenomenal professional debut continued Saturday when he legged out an inside-the-park home run as part of his 21st multi-hit performance of the season. The 19-year-old phenom is slashing .338/.398/.536 with nine round-trippers and 26 steals across 50 games for Low-A Bradenton. He leads the entire Florida State League with 70 hits and ranks second in home runs, trailing only Phillies breakout prospect Aroon Escobar in the power department. Based on his current trajectory, Griffin is likely to finish the year as a top-five caliber prospect for dynasty purposes.
Andrew Heaney

PIT Starting Pitcher #45

Andrew Heaney left Saturday’s start against the Phillies with left camp cramping.

Heaney went six innings and allowed one run before exiting with a trainer. Assuming no setbacks, there’s a good chance he’ll be able to make his next start against the Cubs next week; scheduled for Thursday.
Henry Davis

PIT Catcher #32

Henry Davis went 2-for-3 with a solo homer in the Pirates’ 2-1 win over the Phillies on Saturday.

After knocking a base hit in the second inning, Davis broke a 1-1 tie with a solo homer off Ranger Suárez in the seventh for what would be the game-winning run. It was his second straight day with a homer. The 25-year-old backstop is hitting .216/.284/.405 with four homers and 10 RBI across 84 plate appearances.
David Bednar

PIT Relief Pitcher #51

David Bednar tossed a perfect ninth inning with one strikeout to earn the save against the Phillies on Saturday.

Bednar got the call to close out the game in the top of the ninth with a one-run lead. He induced two groundouts and struck out one batter in a clean frame to secure the win and lock down his eighth save of the season.
Andrew Heaney

PIT Starting Pitcher #45

Andrew Heaney left Saturday’s start against the Phillies with an apparent injury.

Heaney threw a wild pitch, and then exited the start with a trainer. He threw six innings of one-run baseball before leaving the start. There should be an update on why Heaney left before the end of Saturday’s contest.
Tanner Rainey

FA Relief Pitcher #27

Pirates RHP Tanner Rainey has elected free agency.

Rainey will head to the open market in search of a new opportunity after posting an unsightly 10.57 ERA across 7 2/3 innings (11 appearances) this season for Pittsburgh. The 32-year-old righty went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week.
Isaac Mattson

PIT Relief Pitcher #72

Pirates recalled RHP Isaac Mattson from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Mattson returns to the majors with the Pirates moving on from lefty reliever Joey Wentz ahead of Saturday’s game against the Phillies. The 29-year-old righty has made three appearances this season for Pittsburgh. He’ll operate in middle relief moving forward.
Brett Sullivan

PIT Catcher #29

Pirates selected the contract of C Brett Sullivan from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Sullivan heads to Pittsburgh as extra catching depth in the wake of Endy Rodríguez hitting the injured list with elbow discomfort. The 31-year-old backup was acquired from San Diego in a small trade back in April. He’s gotten into 40 games over the last two years with the Padres.
Endy Rodriguez

PIT Catcher #5

Pirates placed C/1B Endy Rodríguez on the 10-day injured list with right elbow discomfort.

Rodríguez head back to the shelf after being removed from Friday’s game against the Phillies with right elbow discomfort. The 25-year-old former top prospect is hitting just .173 with zero homers through 18 games this season in the big leagues.
Joey Wentz

PIT Relief Pitcher #34

Pirates designated LHP Joey Wentz for assignment.

Wentz has been removed from Pittsburgh’s relief mix after recording an underwhelming 4.15 ERA across 26 innings (19 appearances). The 27-year-old former prospect has been a serviceable middle reliever, but he simply doesn’t miss enough bats to guarantee a more permanent spot. There might be some interest on waivers given his pedigree, but the results haven’t been there the past few years in the big leagues.
