Giants' Denard Span: Out due to bruised hip
Span was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to a bruised right hip, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis:
Span injured the hip crashing into the wall earlier in the week, and his absence Saturday looks to be mostly precautionary. Consider the outfielder day-to-day until further notice. Jarrett Parker entered the lineup in Span's absence, while Gregor Blanco shifted over from left field to center field and also assumed Span's usual place atop the order.
