Kelly said there isn\u2019t an exact timeline for Griffin in Altoona and will take it \u201cday-by-day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kelly also updated the media on pitcher Jared Jones and said he is doing well after being hit in the elbow during Sunday\u2019s start in Colorado.<\/p>\n
He confirmed X-rays were negative for a fracture and that they are talking it day-by-day with him as well before his scheduled next start. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin will begin a rehab assignment in Double-A Altoona.
