Shelved with strained elbow
The Pirates placed Griffin on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a flexor strain in his right elbow.
Analyse
It's unclear exactly how long the 20-year-old has been dealing with the injury, but general manager Ben Cherington indicated that Griffin will likely be in line for a "short-term stay" on the IL, per Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Ryan O'Hearn (quadriceps) was reinstated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move.

Swipes two bags in win
Griffin went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two stolen bases in Friday's 6-5 win over the Twins.
Analyse
The 20-year-old rookie is up to 14 steals in 15 attempts through his first 50 big-league games. Griffin is more than holding his own at the plate as well, and through 24 contests in May he's slashing .301/.359/.452 with nine extra-base hits including two homers, nine RBI and 19 runs.

Serving as DH vs. Minnesota
Griffin (forearm) is serving as the designated hitter and batting sixth against the Twins on Friday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.
Analyse
Per Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Griffin has not been cleared to throw due to a right forearm flexor strain but has been given the green light to hit. Marcell Ozuna will see a dip in playing time while Griffin gets rep at DH, and Jared Triolo will see more starts at shortstop as well.

Cleared to hit, not throw
Pirates senior director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk told reporters Friday that Griffin is dealing with a muscle strain in his right forearm but has been cleared to serve as the team's designated hitter, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analyse
Griffin's forearm injury led to his absence from Thursday's lineup against the Cubs. The good news is that the injury isn't severe enough for the 20-year-old shortstop to go on the injured list, but he has not been cleared to throw and will be restricted to hitting duties. As a result, Jared Triolo should see more time at shortstop, and Marcell Ozuna could see less playing time if the Pirates opt to use Griffin as the DH.

Managing forearm issue
Griffin is dealing with soreness in his right forearm, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.
Analyse
Griffin won't be in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs, but he will be available off the bench, so it doesn't seem like his forearm issue is anything serious. Jared Triolo will pick up a start at shortstop while Griffin sits.

Pops fourth homer
Griffin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Cubs.
Analyse
Griffin took Jameson Taillon yard to the opposite field in the fourth inning for his fourth homer of the season. It was also his first home run since May 10, a span of 13 starts. Griffin still hit .275 in that span, racking up 13 runs scored and three stolen bases.

Batting leadoff versus lefty
Griffin will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game against the Cubs.
Analyse
The right-handed-hitting Griffin has hit second a few times versus lefties, but this will be his first-ever start in the leadoff spot. Griffin enters play Tuesday in a mini slump, having picked up only one hit across his last four contests.
