Giants' Denard Span: Hip feeling better

Manager Bruce Bochy said Span (hip) may be available off the bench for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Analysis:

Span missed his second straight game Wednesday with a sore hip, but he's reportedly feeling better. The Giants don't seem too concerned about the issue, though Bochy noted the 34-year-old likely won't start until the San Diego series over the weekend.
