Two key Pirate prospects have been hit with injuries. Outfield prospect Travis Swaggerty suffered a shoulder separation diving back into a base playing for Triple-A Indianapolis. Swaggerty was the Pirates top draft pick in 2018. Infielder Nick Gonzales suffered a fractured finger playing at the Single-A level. Gonzales was the Pirates first round selection last year.
