Pirates Activate Adam Frazier and Gregory Polanco from Disabled List

Published:

The Pittsburgh Pirates activated Adam Frazier and Gregory Polanco from the disabled list on Friday and both will be available for tonight’s game in St Louis.

Frazier was put on the disabled list back on August 28th with a right hamstring strain. Polanco has been on the DL since August 15th with a left hamstring strain. He has not played since leaving a game early on August 12th. Polanco has been on the DL three times this season, each time with a left hamstring strain

Clint Hurdle talked about limiting both of these players the rest of the way, which would help keep Max Moroff and Jordan Luplow in the lineup more often over the final 21 games of the season.

“We’re probably not going to extend playing time with Adam or Gregory right now,” Hurdle said. “It’s probably going to be a game in, a game out, a couple games out.”

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.
