Kelley L Cox-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters
San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy announced Monday that he'll field the same 25-man roster for the World Series that he used in the National League Championship Series against the St. Louis Cardinals, reports Alex Pavlovic of the Mercury News.
The Giants will bring 13 positions players and 12 pitchers into Tuesday's series opener against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium, including right-hander Tim Lincecum, the only rostered player not to see the field during the NLCS.
The club has until Tuesday to finalize their roster, but the 25-man squad should shape up like so, barring any last-minute changes:
