A wise man once said “you don’t know what you have until it’s gone.” This can be applicable to the 2019 Pittsburgh Pirates. After, the Pirates have had more players go on the injured list than any other team in the Majors.
On Monday, Jung Ho Kang was placed on the 10-day IL. This made Kang the 19th Pirate played to go on the IL this season. This is the most players the Pirates have had spend time on the IL since at least 2001, and it’s only May 15th.
Injuries have no impact just the MLB club, though.
