SAN DIEGO — Hunter Pence will sit out today, a day after he exited Triple-A Sacramento’s game in the third inning.
The Giants are being cautious with their right fielder who’s coming off right hamstring surgery. It’s possible Pence could play for Sacramento in New Orleans on Monday.
“He’s feeling like he could play, but we thought it best he take the day off,” manager Bruce Bochy said. “We’ll see how he’s doing tomorrow. You’ve got to be careful. ‘Slow-play’ is what we say all the time with these guys. You’re trying to stay away from setbacks.
