Pirates Place Henry Davis on the IL, Jack Hartman Joins Bradenton

The Pittsburgh Pirates have placed catching prospect Henry Davis on the 7-day injured list in Altoona with a left wrist injury. Davis has been dealing with a bone bruise, and missed the last several games.

Anthony Murphy wrote about Davis today. In that article, Anthony noted that while Davis does get hit by a lot of pitches, it doesn’t look like a hit-by-pitch was the reason for this injury. Davis also missed time in Greensboro last year with an oblique injury.

At this point, Davis has been out for almost a week, so hopefully this is only a temporary assignment for the top prospect.
