Injuries are always part of baseball, but this year has been especially bad. Nobody knows whether or how the pandemic played a role, but injuries are definitely up this year. That seems true in the Pirates’ farm system, as well. I thought I’d put together a list of the players on the minor league ILs. There’s nothing especially analytical about this, it’s just a reference.
An * means the player is on the 60-day IL. All other are on the 7-day IL. Some names you probably won’t recognize, generally players on the 60-day IL. Some of these are players who got hurt in or before spring training and never played this year.
