High-A Vancouver placed Pinto on its 7-day injured list May 16 due to an unspecified injury.
The 22-year-old second baseman had been raking for Vancouver prior to being shelved with the injury, slashing .284/.376/.608 with seven home runs and three stolen bases in just 85 plate appearances. Listed at 5-foot-6 and 156 pounds, Pinto generates a surprising amount of power, but durability is starting to become a concern for him; he's now spent multiple months on the IL for four consecutive seasons.

Pinto (rib) has gone 8-for-15 with a home run, a triple, three doubles, nine RBI and five runs in three games since being reinstated from High-A Vancouver's 60-day injured list Wednesday.
Pinto was finally cleared to make his High-A Vancouver debut this past week after a rib issue cropped up in spring training and forced him to spend extended time on the shelf. Before he was activated, Pinto appeared in nine contests between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A Dunedin, slashing .394/.429/.576 with four extra-base knocks and two walks between those two stops.
