CHICAGO – A few Giants health updates before Matt Moore and Kyle Hendricks take the mound on what is shaping up to be a rather Candlestickian Wednesday night at Wrigley Field:
–Denard Span is in the lineup after hitting in the cage and pronouncing his sprained thumb OK enough to play. Span missed the previous two games.
–Hunter Pence did agility drills but he remains almost a week away. He’s going to go on at least a short minor league rehab assignment, Bruce Bochy said.
–Johnny Cueto, who has two blisters on his pitching hand, is currently expected to take his next turn Saturday against the Braves at AT&T Park.
