Span is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports.
Analysis:
While the 32-year-old has six hits in his last four games, he has come up empty in nine career at-bats against Clayton Kershaw, Friday's starter for Los Angeles. Given the matchup, manager Bruce Bochy has decided to give Gregor Blanco the start in center and Angel Pagan another opportunity atop the order. The Giants are slated to face another lefty in Scott Kazmir on Saturday.
