Pirates Slugger Ryan O'Hearn Returns From the Injured List for Game Against the Cubs
Ryan O'Hearn returned from the injured list as Pittsburgh tried to extend a four-game winning streak and stay above .500.
- The Pittsburgh Pirates activated infielder/outfielder Ryan O'Hearn from the 10-day injured list before Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, making him available off the bench.
- O'Hearn, an All-Star in 2025, suffered a strained left quad on July 31 at Cincinnati while running to first on a groundout in an 8-7 Pirates loss. He had been expected to miss six to eight weeks.
- In 96 games this season, O'Hearn has recorded 17 home runs and a career-high 69 RBIs while making 49 appearances at first base and 42 in right field. His versatility has been critical to Pittsburgh's lineup.
- Manager Don Kelly said the team would "take it slow" with O'Hearn's return, easing him in at first base and as designated hitter. Kelly noted it was "a pretty significant injury," but O'Hearn's comeback exceeded expectations.
- The Pirates optioned outfielder Ronny Simón to Triple-A Indianapolis to clear a roster spot. Pittsburgh has won nine of its last 11 games, improving to 74-73 and positioning itself for a playoff push.
