Giants’ Williamson not returning soon, likely destined for AAA rehab

ATLANTA - The way things are headed, the Giants might get Hunter Pence back in left field before Mac Williamson.

The team can extend Pence's rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento only so long. Meanwhile, Williamson's recovery from the concussion he sustained slamming into a wall at AT&T Park has gone slower than hoped.

The Giants have learned all to well that is not unusual.

Manager Bruce Bochy reported that Williamson felt "woozy" after batting and fielding practice Friday night and was to be examined by a team doctor on the trip.

Before Sunday's game, Bochy could not predict when Williamson might play, but his next games probably will be at Triple-A on a rehab assignment now that he has not faced a pitcher since April 27.
