Pirates' Ji-Man Choi out for 8 weeks with Achilles strain.
TL;DR
Pittsburgh Pirates' first baseman Ji-Man Choi is expected to miss eight weeks of action due to a strained left Achilles tendon, while lefties Jarlin Garcia and Rob Zastryzny are also out for extended periods of time due to arm injuries. Garcia is still unable to grip a ball, while Zastryzny has been diagnosed with ulnar neuritis. With both Garcia and Zastryzny out, the Pirates only have one lefty in the bullpen, Rule 5 pick Jose Hernandez. The Pirates may look to add depth via waivers or other options.
