Giants place Harrison Bader and Jared Oliva on IL, altering outfield, bench depth

It didn’t seem too sustainable when the San Francisco Giants opened the season without a left-handed hitter on the bench. They indirectly addressed that deficiency Wednesday morning, although it took two injuries in the outfield to do it.The Giants placed Harrison Bader (hamstring) and Jared Oliva (left hamate fracture) on the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday’s game at Cincinnati. The team recalled two lefty-hitting outfielders, Drew Gilbert and Will Brennan, from Triple-A Sacramento.Advertisement
