DENVER – Two days after wiping out on a dirt bike, Madison Bumgarner’s arm is in a sling and he is able to walk under his own power.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that Bumgarner briefly left the team hotel here Friday night and went to Coors Field to meet with head athletic trainer Dave Groeschner.
Bochy did not believe that Bumgarner would be at the ballpark Saturday. The left-hander is due to travel home with the club after Sunday’s game, and not expected to make any comments over the weekend.
Bumgarner has bruised ribs and a Grade 1 or 2 sprain of the AC joint in his left shoulder, and while the Giants are withholding any kind of timetable for Bumgarner’s return from the disabled list until he can be evaluated in San Francisco, Bochy said he has not heard surgery mentioned as a necessity.
