SAN FRANCISCO — Outfielder Hunter Pence will start his minor league rehab assignment with the Class A San Jose Giants Wednesday night.
Pence, who’s missed the Giants last 17 games with a strained left hamstring, is slated to play five innings for the San Jose Giants at San Jose Municipal Stadium Wednesday and another seven innings Thursday.
“He’s probably going to want to come up then,” manager Bruce Bochy said. “But we’ll see how he’s doing. I’m thinking it could be 15, 20 at bats; could be more, could be a couple less. We’ll see how’s he moving around, how he’s swinging the bat.
