Giants' Denard Span: Out with sore hip
Span is not in the Giants' lineup Tuesday due to a sore hip, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis:
It was initially reported that Span would give way to Gorkys Hernandez due to the left-handed pitching matchup, however manager Bruce Bochy said it's actually because the 34-year-old is dealing with a sore hip. It's unclear if this is related to his 2015 hip surgery, though more details about the injury should arise within the next couple of days. He should be considered day-to-day until the Giants note otherwise.
