According to Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Pirates first baseman Spencer Horwitz (wrist) is expected to miss six to eight weeks. Hiles noted that Horwitz underwent a procedure on his right wrist last week to address "chronic symptoms" and is expected to make a full recovery. As a result, the 27-year-old will likely miss time during the start of the regular season and could open the 2025 campaign on the injured list. While he will be sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Jared Triolo to see most of the opportunities at first base, with Billy Cook or Bryan Reynolds potentially operating as the backup option. The Pirates acquired Horwitz earlier in the offseason via a trade from the Cleveland Guardians. Last season with Toronto, the 27-year-old posted a .265/.357/.433 slash line with 19 doubles and 12 home runs. He should see most of the starting opportunities at first base when he returns.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Spencer Horwitz (wrist) has moved his rehab assignment to Triple-A Indianapolis. Horwitz has been sidelined since spring training to repair an extensor tendon in his right thumb. Horwitz began his rehab assignment at Double-A and needed just five games to earn the call to Triple-A. Through his first eight rehab appearances, Horwitz has held a .143/.200/.214 slash line with two doubles with a 5:2 K:BB. Last season, Horwitz appeared in a career-high 97 games for the Toronto Blue Jays and posted a solid .265/.357/.433 slash line with 19 doubles and 12 home runs. When he does return to the majors, fantasy managers should expect Horwitz to be the everyday first baseman in Pittsburgh.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Spencer Horwitz (wrist) begins his rehab assignment on Sunday, batting leadoff for the Double-A Altoona Curve. The Radford alum has yet to suit up in 2025 as he battled back from wrist surgery that was performed to address "chronic issues." Horwitz hit well the last time we saw him in the big leagues, slashing .265/.357/.433 with 12 homers, 19 doubles, 40 RBI, and 46 runs scored across 328 at-bats. He consistently hit for a high average during his time in the minors and should boost fantasy managers in that department once his rehab program is complete. The 27-year-old has also displayed excellent plate discipline throughout his career.--Alex Ciulla

Pittsburgh Pirates senior director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said that first baseman Spencer Horwitz (wrist) had his sutures removed from his surgically-repaired wrist earlier this week and has started left-handed swinging with one hand only, fielding ground balls and doing conditioning work. Horwitz is still on track to return in six to eight weeks. The 27-year-old will most likely open the 2025 regular season on the injured list, which will open the door for Jared Triolo and Billy Cook to see most of the action at the cold corner early on. Whenever Horwitz is able to return, he's expected to see most of the playing time at first for Pittsburgh in his first year with the Bucs. The left-handed hitter was a bright spot for Toronto in 2024 in 97 games, slashing .265/.357/.433 with 12 home runs, 40 RBI and 46 runs scored.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Sources tell Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Andrew Destin that Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Spencer Horwitz (wrist) will miss time in spring training with a right-wrist injury. The severity of Horwitz's wrist injury is unclear, but it will certainly put his status up in the air for Opening Day in late March. The 27-year-old was dealt from the Toronto Blue Jays to the Cleveland Guardians and then to the Pirates this offseason. If healthy, he's expected to serve as the Bucs' primary first baseman in 2025 after hitting .265/.357/.433 with a .790 OPS, 12 home runs, 40 RBI and 46 runs scored in 381 plate appearances over 97 games in Toronto in 2024. If Horwitz's wrist injury is serious enough to keep him out for the start of the regular season, it's possible that Jared Triolo will slide across the diamond and start at first base for Pittsburgh. Stay tuned for more information on the severity of Horwitz's injury.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
