UPDATE: Ke’Bryan Hayes reached an agreement on a long-term deal today and then left injured in the first inning. Waiting on an update from the Pirates, but it was a wrist injury that happened a few players before he left.
UPDATE #2:
Sources: Pirates’ Ke’Bryan Hayes left the game with cramping in his left thumb/forearm, “Very minor,” one source said.
