Alen Hanson left Wednesday’s game with a right knee contusion, and the Giants will wait to determine the severity of his injury before making any further moves.
The Giants has started nine different pitchers this season, including prospects Tyler Beede, Dereck Rodriguez, and Andrew Suarez, the latter two of whom are currently regular rotation starters.
It turns out, however, that Mattingly never told Posey he’d be next, and that Mike Krukow’s initial report was incorrect. The Giants broadcaster explained the situation, and said he’d apologize to Mattingly today, when he joined Murph & Mac Wednesday morning.
Recent Giants’ first-round draft pick Joey Bart visited AT&T Park for the first time on Monday evening. The No. 2 overall pick was given his first Giants uniform in the dugout by general manager Bobby Evans, and had his first brief session with the Bay Area media.
In the last two weeks, catcher Joey Bart was drafted second overall by the Giants in the 2018 MLB Draft, received the largest ever upfront bonus for a position player in the sum of $7.025 million, and now he’s finally met Buster Posey, the man he may one day unseat as the Giants’ star catcher.
