Weekend BP: Mitch Haniger update

Happy weekend, San Francisco Giants fans.

The Giants suffered a pretty unfortunate injury on Tuesday, when outfielder Mitch Haniger fractured his right forearm after getting hit by a pitch.

On Friday, the Giants offered an update on Haniger, a Bay Area native whom they signed to a three-year deal over the offseason. The Giants say that Haniger underwent successful surgery on Thursday in Los Angeles, on the team’s off day. If we’re getting mildly technical, it was a surgery to repair a fractured ulna, with screws and plates inserted during the surgery.

According to the Giants, the estimate for Haniger’s recovery is 10 weeks.
