O\u2019Hearn, who was placed on the 10-day IL with a left quad strain, was injured in the ninth inning of <a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghbaseballnow.com\/pittsburgh-pirates-cincinnati-reds-ryan-ohearn-nick-gonzales\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Friday night\u2019s loss to the Reds<\/a> while running to first base on a groundout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his first season with the Pirates after signing as a free agent in the winter, O\u2019Hearn carries a .270\/.334\/.454 batting line with 15 doubles, 17 home runs and 69 RBI. Defensively, the 33-year-old has split his time between right field and first base. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">O\u2019Hearn previously missed two weeks in May due to a right quad strain. His current quad strain is more severe, and it will keep him off the field until the middle of September at the earliest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While O\u2019Hearn lands on the IL, the Pirates are getting another player off it. Pittsburgh reinstated catcher\/first baseman Rafael Flores Jr. from the 7-day concussion list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flores, who last played on June 22, has appeared in eight games for the Pirates this season and is batting .267\/.421\/.533 with a double, a home run and two RBI. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pirates made two additional roster moves as rookie right-hander Antwone Kelly was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis and right-hander Isaac Mattson was recalled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kelly pitched three-scoreless innings on Friday night, his third appearance with the Pirates. On the season, the 22-year-old has a 6.14 ERA. Kelly has made 19 appearances\/13 starts with Indianapolis and is 5-5 with a 4.29 ERA. In 77.2 innings, he\u2019s allowed 37 earned runs on 73 hits with 36 walks and 56 strikeouts. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mattson quickly rejoins the Pirates after he was optioned on Wednesday. In 36 appearances this season, he\u2019s gone 0-0 with a 4.93 ERA. Mattson has allowed 19 runs on 38 hits with 16 walks and 33 strikeouts in 34.2 innings. <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMentioned in this article: <a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghbaseballnow.com\/tag\/antwone-kelly\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Antwone Kelly<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghbaseballnow.com\/tag\/isaac-mattson\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Isaac Mattson<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghbaseballnow.com\/tag\/pittsburgh-pirates\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pittsburgh Pirates<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghbaseballnow.com\/tag\/rafael-flores-jr\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rafael Flores Jr.<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghbaseballnow.com\/tag\/ryan-ohearn\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ryan O&#8217;Hearn<\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"categories single-categories\">More about:<a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghbaseballnow.com\/pirates-transactions\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pirates Transactions<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo provided by Eddie Provident The Pirates will be without Ryan O\u2019Hearn for 6-8 weeks, manager Don Kelly&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":207020,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[54998,40353,73,75,74,10997,94515,41208],"class_list":["post-257466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-antwone-kelly","tag-isaac-mattson","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news","tag-pittsburgh-pirates","tag-rafael-flores-jr","tag-ryan-ohearn"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257466"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257466\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/207020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=257466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=257466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
