Michael Morse, one of the most popular players in the Giants’ clubhouse, one of the most popular players in our hearts, is back on the 25-man roster. The Giants recalled the outfielder/first baseman, and he will roam the vast outfield prairies of AT&T Park once again. He will replace Denard Span, who was placed on the 10-day DL, retroactive to April 23.
Morse will be joined by old friend Kelby Tomlinson, recalled from Sacramento to replace Brandon Crawford, who was placed on the 3-day bereavement list. However, while the Giants are hoping Crawford can come back on Saturday, note that he came out of Tuesday’s game with a groin strain.
