Move to IL made official
The Pirates placed Horwitz on the 10-day injured list Thursday due to a left hamstring strain.
Analisi
Horwitz suffered the injury during Wednesday's win over the Mariners. The Pirates haven't provided word on the severity of the strain, making it difficult to forecast a timeline for Horwitz's return. Horwitz will be eligible for activation in early July, but with the All-Star break looming, the Pirates could proceed cautiously with the first baseman and keep him on the shelf until the start of the second half, even if his strain is mild.

Heading to injured list
The Pirates are expected to place Horwitz (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
Analisi
Horwitz was lifted from Wednesday's game against the Mariners because of left hamstring discomfort. It's unclear at this point how severe the strain is, but even a mild one could knock Horwitz out through the All-Star break. While Horwitz is sidelined, the Pirates will likely use Ryan O'Hearn at first base and Marcell Ozuna at designated hitter most days.

Exits with hamstring injury
Horwitz was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mariners with left hamstring discomfort.
Analisi
Horwitz went 0-for-1 with a walk before being lifted in favor of a pinch hitter in the fourth inning. The Pirates are still in the process of evaluating the 28-year-old, but there could be an update on his status after the game.

Tallies 10th homer
Horwitz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Rockies.
Analisi
Horwitz led off the game with his 10th home run of the season and third in his last 11 starts. His current career-best homer total in a season is 12, which he set in 2024 across 381 plate appearances. Horwitz will almost certainly clear that mark, and he also should continue to pick up plenty of counting stats while serving as Pittsburgh's primary leadoff hitter. Across his last 11 games, he's managed 10 runs scored and seven RBI while going 12-for-42.
