SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants will move forward without closer Hunter Strickland, who fractured his right pinky in a fit of anger following Monday night’s 5-4 loss to the Miami Marlins.
“After the game, he had a little snap and punched a door,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday before the Giants played the Marlins in Game 2 of a three-game series. “He fractured his hand. So he’s probably going to be out six to eight weeks.”
Bochy said it was similar to the injury which sidelined Madison Bungarner when he took a comebacker in the final game in spring training.
