These three Pittsburgh Pirates players missed time in 2023 because of injuries that caused them not to produce like themselves. If healthy, they can elevate the lineup in 2024.

The Pittsburgh Pirates had a handful of players miss time because of injury last season. Some, like Oneil Cruz, Mike Burrows, and JT Brubaker, will return next season after suffering a major injury. However, there were other players who may not have had injuries as severe as those of that trio, but their performance was brought down because of it.

But if these players are 100% ready to go and stay healthy all season, they could be massive contributors to the Pirates' 2024 line-up. The times when they were 100% healthy in 2023, they were extremely productive contributors at the dish.
