This is the 2018 Giants in a nutshell, only now the health concern goes beyond a limb or a finger.
After playing two innings in Friday night’s 4-0 victory over the Phillies at AT&T Park, first baseman Brandon Belt was rushed to a hospital to be evaluated for appendicitis. On Saturday, the team announced he underwent an appendectomy.
Belt was expected to be released from the hospital Saturday afternoon and will be headed for the disabled list. When Andres Torres had the same surgery in September 2010, he returned in 13 days, and that was considered quick.
