Hunter Pence Has Foot Pain, Buster Posey Misses Practice
San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence (foot) took batting practice on Wednesday but wasn't able to run the bases or play the outfield as a precautionary measure because of minor pain in his foot, according to manager Gabe Kapler. Catcher Buster Posey missed another practice Wednesday because of a personal issue that kept him away from a workout last Friday. Pence surprised by hitting .297 with 18 home runs in 83 games for the Rangers in 2019, but the 37-year-old is an injury risk for fantasy owners as outfield depth. The universal designated hitter should help his cause for more at-bats, just don't expect a repeat of 2019, especially in a more pitcher-friendly park and in a weak lineup. Posey's absence doesn't appear to be COVID-19-related, so he should be fine for Opening Day.
