Update on Ke’Bryan Hayes. Doesn’t sound like he will miss the minimum of ten days, but they also made it sound like it might not take much longer:
Update from Pirates director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk on Ke'Bryan Hayes: He's doing "limited baseball activities." He's throwing, but he's not playing catch yet. Wrist injury is on his glove side.
Tomczyk said he's "overall encouraged" by the daily improvements.
