DENVER – Madison Bumgarner probably has some scraped skin along with his bruised ribs and sprained left shoulder after wiping out on a dirt bike Thursday. His pride is most definitely wounded, too.
And this season for the Giants could become as painful as road rash.
Let’s try to address some questions, knowing there is plenty in this dust cloud that hasn’t settled yet:
How long will Bumgarner be out?
The short answer is we don’t know. The more nuanced answer: we don’t know, but we can hazard a pretty good guess.
Bumgarner was diagnosed with bruised ribs and a Grade 1 or 2 sprain of the AC joint in his shoulder.
