Gregory Polanco left Friday night’s game against the Colorado Rockies early after running out a grounder in the fourth inning. The Pittsburgh Pirates announced shortly after that he left the game due to left hamstring discomfort and his status is day-to-day. He was on the disabled in mid-May this year with a left hamstring strain, but this one didn’t appear as bad.

Polanco was 1-for-3 at the time of the injury and was replaced on the bases by John Jaso, who remained in the game in right field.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
