Ryan Vogelsong was very much on the minds of his former mates a day after he was hit around the eye by a 92-mph fastball in Monday’s Pirates-Rockies game in Pittsburgh.
Manager Bruce Bochy and former Giant Jeremy Affeldt both exchanged texts with Vogelsong, who is in the hospital waiting for the swelling around his left eye to subside so doctors can gauge the extent of the fractures that will need to be repaired in surgery.
Affeldt relayed some good news: Vogelsong’s vision in that eye, a source of concern, was returning gradually Tuesday.
