SAN FRANCISCO — Jimmy Rollins had a locker stall in the AT&T Park clubhouse on Thursday, but it appears he’ll never be using it after the veteran infielder did not return to the Bay Area with the Giants when spring training camp broke in Arizona.
Rollins, 38, was hoping to be a reserve infielder with the team he grew up rooting for in Alameda, but it wasn’t to be. He hit just .125 during spring training (5 for 40) with one home run.
Even though it was essentially a foregone conclusion that he would not make the club, it was thought Rollins might return with the Giants to play in the Bay Bridge Series in front of family and friends.
