The Pittsburgh Pirates are experiencing setbacks with infielder Spencer Horwitz, who was anticipated to be a key offseason acquisition. After wrist surgery in February, his return was expected within six to eight weeks, but as of tomorrow, it will be nine weeks, and he remains on the injured list without commencing a rehab assignment. Horwitz's batting practice at PNC Park suggests progress, yet his absence is felt deeply in a struggling offense. The Pirates' overall performance is concerning, and Horwitz's eventual return is hoped to offer a significant boost to the lineup.
Spencer Horwitz's offseason arrival was highly anticipated by the Pirates, but wrist surgery has delayed his return, extending his time on the injured list.
