ST. LOUIS — Reliever Bryan Morris had a worse spring than he could have imagined after the Giants invited him to try to make the club on a minor-league contract. He was sidelined by back spasms. When those subsided, he was throwing batting practice to prepare for the Cactus League and his right foot was broken by Juan Ciriaco’s comebacker.
When Morris’ foot healed and he went to Triple-A to pitch in rehab games, Ciriaco became a teammate.
“When I got to Sacramento he apologized to me for 10 minutes,” Morris said.
