Hunter Pence News
San Francisco Giants outfielder/designated hitter Hunter Pence was designated for assignment prior to Sundays contest against the D-backs. Pence has gotten off to a tremendously slow start in 2020, slashing .096/.161/.250 through his first 17 games. After an All-Star campaign last year, Pence appeared to have revived himself into a fantasy commodity, but his new surroundings throw that into question. With Pence off the roster, the club activated Sam Coonrod off of the injured list.
San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence (foot) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting fifth on Thursday night against Dodgers right-handed starter Dustin May. Pence was dealing with some foot inflammation in the last part of summer camp, but he's clearly fine to hit to open the regular season. The universal DH in the National League this year boost's Pence's fantasy stock a bit in deep mixed and NL-only leagues, but nobody should really be expecting him to repeat his .297/.358/.552 slash line last year with Texas, which included 18 home runs, 59 RBI, 53 runs and six stolen bases in 316 plate appearances. Pence will be facing LA's No. 2 prospect in May on Thursday night.
San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence (foot) did some running on Wednesday but still isn't playing the field and served as the designated hitter in an intrasquad game on Thursday. The veteran outfielder is dealing with some inflammation in his foot and might not be ready to play the field by Opening Day, but the universal designated hitter in 2020 could allow Pence not to miss out on any at-bats once the season starts. The 37-year-old surprised many last year by slashing .297/.358/.552 with Texas, including 18 home runs, 59 RBI, 53 runs and six steals in 316 plate appearances. Don't count on similar numbers with him back in San Francisco, though, and injuries remain an issue. Pence won't bring a whole lot to the table in mixed leagues.
