San Francisco Giants outfielder Denard Span left Wednesday's Cactus League game after jamming his right shoulder.
Span fell hard on the shoulder while making a diving attempt at a ball, and Giants’ manager Bruce Bochy acknowledged after the game there is some concern about the severity of the injury. Look for a status update from the club by Thursday morning. Span was limited to 61 games last season because of a hip injury which eventually required surgery. San Francisco is hoping to use the 32-year-old as its new starting center fielder and primary leadoff man in 2016.
Our projections have Span posting a .334 wOBA with eight long balls and 20 steals. In 275 plate appearances in 2015, Span hit to the tune of a .348 wOBA with five homers and 11 stolen bases (without being caught once). He’ll be a valuable piece for the Giants’ lineup, if he can stay healthy.
