Belt injury

Brandon Belt’s knee injury is no secret. It is likely the veteran first baseman will need surgery on his right knee, which suffered a bone bruise that sidelined him from July 27 to August 14.

Don’t expect Brandon Belt to have surgery any time soon.

After nearly three weeks of waiting, the Giants are getting Brandon Belt back.

It has been more than three weeks since Brandon Belt was sent to the 10-day disabled list.

Brandon Belt is back. Well, almost. He’s running bases and taking batting practice.

The Giants are running out of the time. Few people know this better than Giants manager Bruce Bochy.

For seven innings, the Giants and visiting Milwaukee Brewers traded blows Thursday night, heading into the eighth inning tied 2-2.

After a 2-3 start to the second half of the season, the Giants are set to kick off a four-game homestand against the Milwaukee Brewers, who lead the National League Wild Card race.

Giants fans can exhale. Brandon Belt’s injury appears to only be a hyperextended knee. Belt hurt the knee as he hustled to first base in the seventh inning of the Giants’ 3-2 loss to the Seattle Mariners Wednesday night and had to be helped off the field.

The Seattle Mariners have a reputation for being one of the best teams in baseball in one-run games. The Giants successfully refuted that reputation on Tuesday, but failed Wednesday, losing 3-2 to the Mariners in the second game of a quick two-game series.
