Marco Luciano Scratched From Saturday's Lineup
9 months agoSan Francisco Giants rookie shortstop Marco Luciano (hamstring) has been scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Chicago Cubs, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. His injury was described as a minor hamstring issue on Friday, and while it's enough to hold him out of a game, this is likely an example of the Giants exercising caution. There's no reason to push players beyond their limits this early in Spring Training, so Luciano will get the day off Saturday before the club re-evaluates his status. Casey Schmitt will draw the start at shortstop in Luciano's absence.
