Pirates Hope Daniel Nava Will Return Soon
7 years agoPittsburgh Pirates outfielder Daniel Nava (back) has not participated in the team's last two workouts and is "rehab-only," according to director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk. General manager Neal Huntington said the team is hopeful Nava will return quickly, but outfielders Bryce Brentz and Michael Saunders are backup plans in case Nava isn't ready. Nava had good numbers in limited playing time with the Phillies, but he also dealt with back problems last year, too. He has good splits against right-handed hitters, and he could become part of a platoon in left for the Bucs in 2018.
