A large part of Bruce Bochy’s job every game is to update the media on injured players. There’s a lot of daily minutia that comes along with each player’s rehab, and it’s easy to get lost in finding the latest update. In an effort to simplify that process, we’re cataloging every injury and rehab update available. You’ll find the injury diary below, in addition to the Giants’ 25-man active roster.
Injury updates aggregated outside of KNBR.com are attributed.
