Giants' Denard Span: Out of lineup while awaiting MRI results

Span (neck) remains out of the lineup Monday against the Rockies.

Analysis:

The Giants are awaiting Span's MRI results, which should paint a clearer picture regarding whether or not the center fielder will require a DL stint. In the meantime, Angel Pagan will bat leadoff and start in center after he was given the day off Sunday. Span hasn't seen the field since he was scratched from Friday's lineup, and at this point, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Giants take a conservative approach and rest the veteran through the All-Star break.
