Overview
- The Pirates, who announced the move Sunday, placed Ryan O’Hearn on the 10-day injured list with a right quad strain and reinstated outfielder Jake Mangum.
- O’Hearn exited Saturday’s game against the Phillies after feeling his right quad and hip flexor “grab” while chasing a pop fly, he told reporters.
- Before the injury, the 32-year-old was hitting .289 with seven home runs and 29 RBIs in 44 games during his first season in Pittsburgh after signing a two-year, $29 million deal.
- Mangum had been out with a left hamstring strain retroactive to May 6 and returns as a defense-first option across all three outfield spots after posting a .260 average with three RBIs in 30 games.
- Several outlets report an MRI showed a significant strain and estimate a mid-June return, though the team has not issued a formal medical timeline.
