Austin Slater doesn’t need to ride the shuttle back to Sacramento, because he’s here to stay in place of Mac Williamson. The Giants were so certain that Mac would be fine that Bruce Bochy declared after last night’s game that he would be in today’s lineups.
Not the case!
ROSTER MOVES:
• Panik placed on 10 Day DL (left thumb sprain)
• Williamson placed on 7 Day Concussion DL
• Slater recalled
• Melancon transferred to 60 Day DL
• Alen Hanson selected to ML Roster#SFGiants— San Francisco Giants (@SFGiants) April 28, 2018This is the second year in a row Panik’s gone down with a left thumb sprain, which means it’s a good thing the Giants’ team doctor is not Ronnie Lott.
