LaMonte Wade Jr. Stats

San Francisco Giants outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (hamstring, knee) felt tightness in his left hamstring while doing baserunning drills, prompting the Giants to back off on his possible return. The team's medical staff prefers to consider Wade's injury "separate" from his knee. Wade was one of the Giants leading hitters last year with 18 home runs, but he's played in only 10 of 57 games this year due to injuries. The 28-year-old will be re-evaluated early next week, but his return from the injured list will be delayed. In 25 at-bats for San Francisco this year, Wade has gone 6-for-25 (.240) with a homer, five RBI and four runs scored.

San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler provided an update on injured outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (knee) on Sunday. Kapler stated that he believes Wade will be out for at least a few weeks. Wade landed on the 10-day injured list with left knee inflammation this past Friday. Injuries have held the 28-year-old to just 10 games so far this year. Over those 10 games, he's slashed .240/.375/.360 with one home run, five RBI and four runs. Luis Gonzalez was called up from Triple-A to take Wade's roster spot and he should see a decent amount of playing time in the coming weeks.

The San Francisco Giants placed outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (knee) on the 10-day injured list on Friday. Fellow outfielder Luis Gonzalez was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Wade had missed each of the team's last two games due to left knee inflammation. Tommy La Stella and Austin Slater have shared leadoff duties since Wade has been out. Gonzalez, meanwhile, only wound up playing one game at Triple-A before being recalled. He homered in that one game, perhaps in defiance to his being sent down this past week despite his .889 OPS with the Giants this year.
