Buster Posey is missing his second consecutive game with a tight right hamstring, an injury that manager Bruce Bochy insisted was not serious. In fact, he hopes Posey can start Friday night's series opener against the Phillies.
With an off day Thursday, a two-day break becomes a three-day break, and the Giant are trying to be cautious.
There has been no talk internally about Posey skipping the All-Star Game, which tells you how non-serious the club feels the injury is.
"I think part of this too is travel," manager Bruce Bochy said.
