San Francisco Giants

Before Thursday night’s game, Bruce Bochy said that Jeff Samardzija is having an MRI and examination done on his shoulder.

With the regular season quickly approaching, here are five keys that are essential to the Giants finding success in 2018.

Not so fast, according to longtime Giants beat writer Henry Schulman, who told Gary & Larry on Wednesday afternoon that he sees a potentially fatal flaw in the Dodgers’ approach of leaning heavily on their bullpen.

The time is quickly approaching for the Giants to make a decision about Julian Fernandez and Duane Kuiper came up with a plan that could buy the team more time on Murph & Mac Wednesday morning.

Former five-time Giants All-Star first baseman Will Clark joined Tolbert & Lund on Tuesday afternoon, and gave the guys his takes on what he’s seen in Arizona at spring training.

Duffy joined Murph & Mac on Tuesday morning, and recounted his surprise the moment he found out the organization had traded him, and how he processed it.

Derek Law was optioned to Triple-A on Monday and Mike Krukow told Murph & Mac the following morning it’ll be a while for him to get back to the major leagues, unless he makes key improvements.

The reigning National League champion Dodgers are going to be without their red-headed slugger on opening day, and possibly for a while after.

Losing to the Cleveland Indians on Monday afternoon wasn’t the worst part of Bruce Bochy’s day. Rather, it was having to cut 15 of his players from the spring training roster prior to the game.

On Monday afternoon, Johnny Cueto fell victim to a pair of home runs hit by Yonder Alonso as the Giants lost to the Indians 5-4.
