The San Francisco Giants released the lineup for Friday’s home opener against the Rockies, and not listed are 3B Evan Longoria and 1B Brandon Belt.
According to Giants beat writer Susan Slusser, Longoria is experiencing mild side effects after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. He is, however, in uniform and available off the bench.
Belt has been dropped from the lineup with the Rockies’ starting left-hander, Austin Gomber.
After six games this season, the Giants have already faced five left-handed pitchers, and Belt was out of the lineup for four of those games.
