Spencer Horwitz is inching back into action after a hamstring injury, set to start rehab with Single-A Bradenton on July 21—just four weeks after going down trying to beat out a double play. If his recovery goes smoothly, he could return to the Pirates’ lineup sooner than expected, bringing back his .280 batting average, 10 homers, and 33 RBI from his pre-injury surge. His return would be a major lift for a Pirates offense already among the best in baseball, especially after key players like Cruz and Rodríguez sat out. Meanwhile, Ryan O’Hearn has stepped up admirably at first base, hitting .269 with 5 homers and 20 RBI—including a record-setting 3-homer, 10-RBI game against Atlanta. With Valdez also excelling in right field, the Pirates’ depth is proving resilient as they prepare for Horwitz’s potential return.
