CHICAGO — The Giants will open a three-game series at Wrigley Field on Tuesday without an important member of their staff in the dugout.
Trainer Dave Groeschner did not make the flight with the team from Arizona to Chicago on Sunday as he traveled to Southern California instead.
Groeschner joined outfielder Steven Duggar at Monday appointment with Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Southern California before heading to Modesto to watch veteran starter Johnny Cueto make a rehab start Tuesday for the High-A San Jose Giants.
Manager Bruce Bochy reported that Duggar received the “best possible news” regarding his Grade 3 AC joint sprain in his left shoulder.
