Giants have until Friday morning to make decision on Nuñez

CHICAGO -- Eduardo Nunez's hamstring strain has been slow to heal, but that wasn't a negative in the wild card game. The Giants won on a homer by his replacement, Conor Gillaspie.

Against Jon Lester, the Giants could certainly use their speedy third baseman, but Bochy said Thursday that Nunez will not be ready to start Game 1 of the National League Division Series. The Giants have not yet decided if Nunez will be on the roster for the series. They have until 10 a.m. Friday to decide.

"We're going to try to get a little workout out of him now to kind of see where we're at, and we'll have to make that determination here," Bochy said.
