Konnor Griffin (finger) has been cleared to resume advanced baseball activities.
Theres’ optimism Griffin will be ready to return from the injured list in early September, when he’s first eligible to be activated from the 60-day injured list. The 20-year-old prodigy seemed to be hitting his stride before suffering a torn sagittal band in his left ring finger that sent him to the injured list back in early July. An early-September return would be in line with the club’s initial 8-10 week return timetable. He’s obviously talented enough that he’ll make a significant fantasy impact down the home stretch as Pittsburgh’s top-of-the-order igniter.
