Pence (wrist) likely won't return to the Giants until after the All-Star break, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Despite the reported optimism surrounding Pence's situation earlier Wednesday, manager Bruce Bochy told reporters that Pence likely won't be back with the team until after the All-Star break, citing that he needs rehab games. There's no word yet on whether the team's plans have changed regarding Pence taking batting practice this weekend, but for now it's more than likely that he'll be out until late July.
