Pence's wrist didn't improve as well as hoped, so the Giants called up a hard-throwing reliever who has been dominating the Pacific Coast League.
The bad news: Hunter Pence is going on the DL because of wrist tendinitis that's indirectly related to his broken bone from the spring, according to Ken Rosenthal. The move is retroactive to June 2, which means he can come off in four days. The see-if-it-gets-better gambit didn't work this time, but it will one of the next three dozen.
The good news: We get a new player to watch!
