Hunter Pence Not Playing The Field Yet
4 years agoSan 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.
