Pirates' Spencer Horwitz Undergoes Wrist Surgery, Out 6-8 Weeks

The newly acquired first baseman is expected to miss most of Spring Training, leaving Pittsburgh to explore temporary options at the position.

Spencer Horwitz had surgery on his right wrist to address chronic symptoms and is expected to recover in 6-8 weeks.
The Pirates acquired Horwitz in December from Cleveland, shortly after he was traded from Toronto earlier the same day.
Horwitz began experiencing new symptoms in January, prompting the decision for surgery after consultation with Dr. Thomas Graham.
Internal candidates like Jared Triolo and Darick Hall may fill the first-base role temporarily, while Bryan Reynolds and Endy Rodríguez are not being considered for the position.
The Pirates' season opener is scheduled for March 27, but Horwitz's return to play will depend on his recovery progress.
