Giants' Denard Span: Scratched from Friday's lineup

Span was scratched from Friday's lineup due to neck soreness, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

With Span unable to give it a go in the opener against Arizona, Gregor Blanco will take over in center field and atop the order against right-hander Shelby Miller. The extent of this injury is uncertain, but according to the report, it's similar to an issue Span dealt with earlier this season.
