O'Hearn's Return Could Turn Pirates' Season | MLB News

Pirates fans are holding their breath as Ryan O’Hearn’s quad injury sidelines him through August and into September — a brutal timing blow for a team desperate to claw back into playoff contention. Before going down in a painful stumble against the Reds, O’Hearn was one of Pittsburgh’s most reliable bats, slashing .288/.351/.487 with a jaw-dropping triple-homer, 10-RBI game against Atlanta. His return — expected within ten days — could be the spark they need, especially with Griffin and Horwitz also coming back. With the Pirates at 11-15 in August and six games out, every healthy bat counts. Can O’Hearn rediscover his first-half magic? The postseason push hinges on it.
