Giants’ injured prospects ‘missing important playing time’

One consolation for a team that has a rotten season is taking looks at the hottest prospects in big-league games.

The Giants can’t get that right, either.

Christian Arroyo has a broken hand. Austin Slater has a torn adductor in his hip/groin area. Steven Duggar missed most of the season with hip and elbow injuries. Ryder Jones was drilled on the wrist, then the other wrist. Joan Gregorio was suspended for testing positive to performance-enhancing drugs.

All had chances for serious big-league time, especially with the Giants buried in the cellar.
