Giants' Denard Span: Returns to lineup Friday

Span (neck) is back in the lineup Friday against the Diamondbacks.

Analysis:

The neck issue cost Span a full week, but the team's decision to hold of a DL stint paid off as Span has been cleared for the final series before the break. Span will return to his normal spots in center field and atop the batting order against lefty Patrick Corbin. The 32-year-old struggled throughout June (.590 OPS) and he's on pace to finish with just 15 steals this season. He swiped a career-high 31 bags in 2014.
