Monday was report day at Pirate City in Bradenton, Florida, for Pittsburgh Pirates’ pitchers and catchers. The first workout for pitchers and catchers will be on Wednesday, however, most of the gang has already arrived.
Additionally, despite position players not being set to report until next week, many of them have arrived in Bradenton as well. With that, Spring Training 2019 is here for the Pittsburgh Baseball Club.
The biggest news of the day came on the injury front with starting right fielder Gregory Polanco. Polanco underwent shoulder surgery in September. At the time, reports were Polanco could be out until as late as June.
