Hunter Pence Dealing With Foot Inflammation
4 years agoSan Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence's (foot) MRI exam on Friday revealed inflammation in his foot. He is still hitting, but the coaching staff will keep him from running over the weekend, according to manager Gabe Kapler. It's good news for the 37-year-old and his chances of being ready by Opening Day on July 23 against the Dodgers. The veteran outfielder was an All-Star in 2019 in a bounce-back season with the Rangers when he hit .297/.358/.552 with 18 home runs, 59 RBI, 53 runs and six stolen bases in 83 games. The universal designated hitter in 2020 should allow him to see regular at-bats for the Giants, but it'd be a surprise if he played as well as he did in 2019 in his return to pitcher-friendly San Francisco.
