This morning my brother texted me to ask if I knew why Giants’ SS prospect CJ Hinojosa had suddenly been placed on the restricted list (I didn’t). This afternoon we all found out why:
Man. San Jose Giants shortstop C.J. Hinojosa just got popped 50 games for second drug-of-abuse violation. #SFGiants

Hinojosa was already starting out the 2018 season behind the rest of his teammates as he continued to recover from a torn achilles tendon suffered in the final weekend of the 2017 season.
