Rotowire
Sanford (hand) has gone 3-for-9 with four walks, two stolen bases and two runs in three games for High-A Greensboro since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Friday.
Sanford was on the shelf for just over a month while recovering from a hand injury. The 20-year-old shortly has cobbled together a .289/.434/.529 slash line with 10 home runs and 23 stolen bases in 51 games at Greensboro this season.
Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a double Sunday against the Mets.
Reynolds has struggled out of the All-Star break, going just 19-for-90 (.211) across 22 games. Even when he has collected hits, they haven't been for much damage, as he has seven total extra-base hits -- including one home run -- with only four RBI in that span. Despite the slow stretch, Reynolds is still hitting .268 with 80 runs scored, 63 RBI and 15 home runs across 522 plate appearances for the season.

Pirates' Konnor Griffin: Taking part in baseball activities
Rotowire
The Pirates announced July 31 that Griffin (finger) has resumed participating in baseball activities, including playing catch and taking right-handed swings against a Trajekt machine, MLB.com reports.
Griffin is about four and a half weeks into a six-week immobilization period for his left ring finger sagittal band injury, but he'll still be able to do some light activities during that time. Once the six weeks are up around the middle of August, Griffin could be cleared for more intense workouts as he gears up for a potential return from the 60-day injured list in early September. While Griffin remains out, Jacob Gonzalez is expected to see the bulk of the reps at shortstop for the Pirates.
