Pirates rookie star Konnor Griffin could miss one month of action after suffering another injury.<\/p>\n
ESPN\u2019s Jeff Passan reports the 20-year-old shortstop \u201chas a torn tendon in his left ring finger.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile Griffin could play through it, rehab is the likeliest option.\u201d<\/p>\n
Passan says rehab could keep Griffin out \u201cat least a month\u201d.<\/p>\n
No word on how the injury happened, but it could\u2019ve been after making two spectacular catches on Sunday against the Nationals in Washington.<\/p>\n
Griffin got up and was grabbing at his hand after awkwardly landing on the diving catches.<\/p>\n
Griffin has played in eight games since returning from a strain in his right forearm.<\/p>\n
Griffin is batting .276 with and OPS of .736, 25 RBI, five home runs and 20 stolen bases (including stealing home over the weekend).<\/p>\n
