Lonnie Chisenhall Reportedly Has Broken Hand

Published:

Ken Rosenthal from The Athletic is reporting that outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall has a broken right hand and he is out 4-to-6 weeks. He was hit on the hand by a pitch during Monday’s game in Houston. That would keep him out of action until at least the last week of April. The Pirates said on Tuesday that JB Shuck would be taking Chisenhall’s place on the roster if he was unavailable for Opening Day, but nothing has been made official as of yet. More on this move later after the Pirates set their final roster.

UPDATE: Chisenhall has a fractured right index finger. Pirates Director of Sports Medicine Todd Tomczyk that he will be reassessed in ten days and they think it’s too early to say he will miss 4-6 weeks.

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.
