The San Francisco Giants decided to play Alen Hanson there instead.
Over the past two weeks, Mac Williamson’s hold as the starting left fielder was looking more and more tenuous. Hunter Pence started in his place twice last week, and now Alen Hanson is getting a shot.
Since returning from the disabled list, Williamson is hitting .206 with a .617 OPS. Not exactly earth-shattering numbers.
It is difficult to pinpoint exactly what is going on with Williamson’s swing right now. He just does not look as comfortable in the batter’s box as he was when we saw him earlier this season.
