The San Francisco Giants have a bit of a shortage in the outfield.
Entering Tuesday’s game against the Colorado Rockies, the Giants were already down a few bodies in the outfield. Mike Yastrzemski was out, after suffering a calf strain last week. Austin Slater, who’s been nursing an injury for well over a month, could hit, but couldn’t play the field. And Alex Dickerson was hit by a pitch on the elbow on Monday, leading to an X-ray. The X-ray came back negative, but the elbow was still swollen and sore, and Dickerson was left out of the lineup.
