The Pittsburgh Pirates, and really the sports teams in Pittsburgh in general, faced a very injury-plagued 2019. The Bucs lost a lot of key members to their team throughout the 2019 season including Jameson Taillon, Starling Marte, Gregory Polanco, and Keone Kela. While those four were the major names to miss significant time in 2019, there was also a young outfielder who suffered a major injury at the big league level.
The Pittsburgh Pirates called up Jason Martin for an extended look in September. He received a cup of coffee earlier in the year and put together a solid handful of games.
