San Francisco Giants OF Gregor Blanco, who is 5-for-41 this season, said he's decided to change his approach and get back to the type of hitter he has been most of his career after trying to hit the ball out of the ballpark to begin the year. "I had to remind myself what kind of player I am," Blanco said. "Just get back the mentality of, `You can do this. You've done it before.' I need to hit the ball on the ground and use my legs. I need to be myself. I know what I am capable of doing." Blanco is essentially the fourth outfielder, and he isn't receiving consistent playing time.

Giants | Brandon Belt has broken thumb

Fri, 09 May 2014 20:53:17 -0700

San Francisco Giants 1B Brandon Belt (thumb) suffered a broken left thumb during the team's game Friday, May 9.

Fantasy Tip: Michael Morse and Buster Posey could be options to play first base while Belt is out of the lineup. The team could also recall Travis Ishikawa from Triple-A Fresno to see some time at the position. Gregor Blanco or Hector Sanchez could see more playing time depending on what the team does at the position. Ishikawa, Blanco and Sanchez likely would only be NL-only options if they get more playing time.
