Injuries happen, they are very much a part of the game. It’s unfortunate when a player misses an extended period, especially in the minors as that is time they can’t spend on development.
This past season the Pirates saw a couple of players return after long layoffs, both Aaron Shortridge and Cody Bolton among them.
As we continue to head towards the 2023 season, the Pirates could once again have a few more players returning to the field after a long layoff. Here’s a look at a few of them.
Jack Herman
A 30th round pick by the Pirates back in 2018, Jack Herman has struggled to make it out of A-Ball, and only recorded 136 plate appearances this past season with Greensboro.
