SF Giants News: Brandon Belt Set To Play More Left Field

The SF Giants have a logjam at first base right now, and Brandon Belt is currently the one suffering for it.

According to SF Gate's Henry Schulman, Belt will get some more work in the outfield after being slotted in left field on Sunday:

At some point, Brandon Belt is going to play some left field.

Bochy likes having Andrew Susac catch and Buster Posey at first base against lefty pitchers. That leaves Belt as the odd man out at a time when he's starting to swing the bat.

It's hard to leave Belt out of the lineup, but, as Bochy said, "It's hard with Susac, too, the way he's swinging. It's a tough one. That's why Belt is going to play left field. That's good. These guys are making it tough. You can't play them all out there. It's good to have these options."
