Injury Updates for JT Brubaker, Lonnie White Jr and Jared Triolo

Published:

There are some injury notes from the local media regarding two Pittsburgh Pirates prospects and starting pitcher JT Brubaker.

JT Brubaker is dealing with elbow/forearm discomfort and manager Derek Shelton said that he will likely begin the regular season on the injured list.

Alex Stumpf has updates on third baseman Jared Triolo and outfielder Lonnie White Jr, and neither is good.

Triolo will require hamate surgery. His return time is unknown at this point. He ended the 2022 season on the injured list with a knee injury.

White Jr, who has barely played since being drafted in 2021, had surgery on his left thumb. He will be out for approximately 7-9 weeks, barring any recovery setback. He had an upper body and lower body injury at the same time last year, preventing him for doing any type of baseball activities for quite some time, then his return amounted to two games in late July before he was injured again. He came to camp healthy this year, but was just recently hurt during a game.

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.
