MIAMI–When the Giants fly from Miami to Los Angeles this week, they’ll be greeted by a familiar face.
First baseman Brandon Belt is expected to join the team in Southern California as he continues to recover from an emergency appendectomy he underwent June 2.
Belt was initially expected to miss three weeks, but he began rehabbing at the Giants facility in Arizona over the weekend and took swings during soft toss drills Tuesday. The club’s current home run leader (11) will participate in a full batting practice Wednesday and continue to train in Scottsdale until the Giants travel to the west coast.
