Ep 593: Oneil Cruz Hits Plateau In Rehab, Luis Ortiz Struggles, Pirates Look To Play Spoiler vs Cubs
Locked On Pirates - Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh PiratesAbout this episode
On today's episode, host Ethan Smith talks about the stall in Oneil Cruz's rehab as he's dealing with left foot soreness. His return to action is in question, so, would it make sense to shut him down for 2023 and focus on 2024? Also, Luis Ortiz returned and struggled as the Pirates failed to sweep the Cardinals and anything positive from 2022 has dissipated. Can he get his velocity and command back or should we be worried about Ortiz longterm. Finally, Andrew McCutchen is still on home run No. 300 watch and the Pirates look to play spoiler against the Chicago Cubs this weekend.
