Hunter Pence having MRI on oblique muscle, out a 'few days'

Oh.

In Hunter Pence's last plate appearance of Monday night, he appeared to grab at his back or side while going down the line. Being timid and willfully ignorant, I hoped it was a bug bite or wacky mannerism. Instead, nope, it's a strained oblique

The bright side: At least the Giants are starting to come down with injuries that aren't related to people throwing baseballs at them.

The downside: everything else.

Ryan Lollis is in the starting lineup along with Justin Maxwell on Tuesday, which gives you a great preview of what the outfield is going to look like without Pence.
