At the on set of the offseason, the Pittsburgh Pirates signed Lonnie Chisenhall to serve as the stop gap in right field until Gregory Polanco would return from injury. The former Indians outfielder and one of few additions to the 2019 Pirates is projected by PECOTA to hit .275/.338/.451 and produce 1.2 WARP in 304 plate appearances, solid production for a veteran backup. However, injuries have long plagued his career, and this year is no different outside this was more of an unlucky injury compared to a muscular one like his calf last season. After getting hit in the hand, Chisenhall has a fractured index finger and will miss four-to-six weeks.
