Giants' Denard Span: Gets day off Tuesday

Span is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Span has struggled mightily at the plate as of late, batting a mere .192 over his past 14 games. With this in mind, manager Bruce Bochy decided to give Span the day off to recharge for the stretch run, allowing Gorkys Hernandez to slot into the lineup as the center fielder.
