Pirates’ rookie phenom Esmerlyn Valdez dodged a serious injury after taking a fastball to the body—tests confirm just a contusion, day-to-day status. Already crushing the ball with 14 homers in 38 games, Valdez is a clutch spark plug for a team reeling from injuries. His return is huge news as the Pirates await others like Spencer Horwitz, Oneil Cruz, and Konnor Griffin to come back from rehab. Valdez’s power and poise are exactly what Pittsburgh needs right now.
