SAN FRANCISCO – The Giants have their over-caffeinated right fielder back, precisely when they most need a double shot in their lineup.
The club activated Hunter Pence from the disabled list and he’s in the lineup as the Giants try to snap out of their second-half funk against the Washington Nationals on Saturday. The Giants designated infielder Ramiro Peña for assignment.

Pence missed 48 games with a right hamstring strain and underwent surgery June 9 to remove a torn tendon. He went 10 for 24 with two doubles, three home runs and seven RBI in seven rehab games for Triple-A Sacramento.
