OAKLAND – The Giants will get their opening day left fielder back on Wednesday. More than three months after Jarrett Parker fractured his collarbone in a collision with the outfield wall, the club will activate him from the disabled list.
Parker will arrive to a very different club than the one he left. The Giants were 5-8 and three games out of first place when he made his running catch and thrust himself into the wall against the Colorado Rockies. They are 35 games out as they prepare to take the field Tuesday at Oakland, with an eye toward playing younger guys as they assess their future options.
