Giants notes: Pence has tight back; Panik close to returning

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants started the year with no players on the disabled list, but this being baseball, it was only a matter of time before Bruce Bochy started giving daily injury updates.

Here's what we've got at the start of a homestand ...

Hunter Pence is out today with minor back tightness. Bochy said Pence could have played today but he was going to give him a rest day soon anyway, so it became today. Pence is expected back in the starting lineup tomorrow.

Joe Panik is out today with groin tightness. Panik ran the bases in the afternoon and then took BP, and he said he's feeling much better.
