TAMPA, Fla. -- Termarr Johnson has put on some muscle since spring training.
This reporter caught up with the Pirates' 2022 first-round draft pick in some downtime during the team's trip to the area to take on the Rays, and it was clear the second baseman had bulked up a bit since the last time we had spoken during spring training about 10 weeks prior. A right hamstring injury cut his spring training short, but he wasn't going to allow it to be lost time. If he couldn't run, that just gave him more time to hit the weight room, focusing on the upper body, lats, biceps and triceps.
