SAN FRANCISCO – One of these days, Bruce Bochy will be able to write his lineups in ink again. For now, a pencil is safer. Preferably one with an eraser on the end.

But he experienced too much lingering discomfort when he tried to take fly balls and hit on the field. So the Giants replaced him with Mac Williamson and shifted Angel Pagan from left field to center.
