The San Francisco Giants season opener is less than a week away, and after some doses of bad injury news, the Giants are finally getting some good news: Brandon Belt is back.
The first baseman who, in case you missed it, has been the third-best hitter in baseball over the last two years, has not yet appeared in a Spring Training game due to some mild knee inflammation. But he’s written into the lineup for Saturday’s preseason game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. And not only that, but Belt is scheduled to play the field, too, rather than be the designated hitter.
