Spencer Horwitz is inching closer to returning to the Pirates after a hamstring strain, with a dramatic twist: he took a pitch to the face on July 25th but stayed in the game and hit a solo homer. GM Ben Cherington called it more of a bruise than a concussion, cleared him to fly back to Pittsburgh, and expects another check-up upon arrival. Horwitz, who’s been sidelined since June 24th, showed strong rehab form before the hit, including key hits and walks. A key contributor before his injury — batting .280 with 10 homers and 33 RBIs — his return could be a game-changer as Pittsburgh races for the NL Wild Card.
