J.D. Davis J.D. Davis Suffers shoulder strain
Tue, Sep 26, 2023, 10:06 PM
Davis exited Tuesday's game against San Diego with a strained left shoulder, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Davis' injury came on an awkward into third base after he hit a line drive into right field during the first inning. The Giants haven't provided any information that could help determine how long Davis' absence will be, but a trip to the injured list is possible and would put an early end to the 30-year-old's season.
