Giants Scratch Rafael Devers With Left Hamstring Tightness

The team labeled the move precautionary with a possible return Sunday.

Overview

  • Devers was pulled from the lineup about an hour before first pitch against the Dodgers after feeling tightness during pregame infield work.
  • Manager Tony Vitello said the decision was precautionary and that Devers, who is off Saturday, could play again as soon as Sunday versus the Padres.
  • Center fielder Harrison Bader exited after the first inning with a right thumb contusion and is considered day to day.
  • Devers has started spring training 0-for-8 across three games with one walk and one RBI.
  • San Francisco has used Devers mostly at designated hitter with some first base, and prospect Bryce Eldridge’s availability at first could further limit his defensive workload, according to reporting.
