Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:21:54 -0700 San Francisco Giants 2B Marco Scutaro (finger) returned to action Tuesday, June 18, with a splint on his left pinkie, going 2-for-4 with two singles. He will wear the split for the next four to six weeks to try fixing the issue and must adjust his grip so that the finger is not touching the bat. Fantasy Tip: Expect the Giants to monitor his progress as the next few weeks go along.
Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:03:14 -0700 San Francisco Giants 2B Marco Scutaro (pinkie) is back in the lineup Tuesday, June 18.
Mon, 17 Jun 2013 18:00:30 -0700 San Francisco Giants 2B Marco Scutaro (pinkie) could return to the lineup Tuesday, June 18, according to manager Bruce Bochy. Fantasy Tip: Good news for those that own Scutaro as he appears to be close to returning. Check back as lineups are posted Tuesday, and get him in your lineup if he does return.
Fri, 14 Jun 2013 15:12:09 -0700 San Francisco Giants 2B Marco Scutaro (finger) took swings in an indoor cage before batting practice Friday, June 14. Fantasy Tip: Scute hopes to play again within the coming days, but his absence could drag on considering the complicated nature of the injury. Keep up with his progress before you set your weekly lineups Sunday and Monday.
Wed, 12 Jun 2013 15:37:11 -0700 San Francisco Giants 2B Marco Scutaro (finger) saw a hand specialist on Wednesday, June 12, for the tendon injury in his pinkie that resulted from being hit by a pitch on Tuesday, June 11. He was told that surgery wasn't required for his case of "mallet finger" and that he didn't have to rule out a return to action once the swelling and pain subside, in a couple of days. The usual treatment options for this injury -- complete immobilization with a splint or the insertion of a pin -- wouldn't work if he tried to play, however. He's wearing a modified splint for the time being. If he doesn't keep the finger straight for four to six weeks, it would become deformed permanently. "I want to play. I also want to have a good finger. I don't want to live with a finger like this," said Scutaro. Manager Bruce Bochy is leaving it up to the player. Fantasy Tip: Bochy seems to hope that Scutaro decides to gut it out, but the safe thing, perhaps even for his performance, would be to put him on the DL, even though he thinks how he grips a bat won't be affected. Fantasy owners will know more in a few days.
Wed, 12 Jun 2013 14:29:28 -0700 San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy is not ruling out 2B Marco Scutaro (pinkie) for the team's next series against the Atlanta Braves. Bochy said the team does not have any problem with Scutaro playing through the injury.
Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:39:51 -0700 Updating a previous report, San Francisco Giants 2B Marco Scutaro (pinkie) said he hopes to be able to play as soon as the pain and swelling subside in his pinkie. Scutaro said the hand specialist gave him two options to fix the injury now, which would have meant he could miss a few months. The doctor also said Scutaro could play once the swelling and pain goes away and have the injury repaired after the season. He is talking with trainer Dave Groeschner and manager Bruce Bochy about his options.
Wed, 12 Jun 2013 12:57:46 -0700 San Francisco Giants 2B Marco Scutaro has something called "mallet finger," something that can sideline a player for six to eight weeks. There's a small chance that he can play through it, so the organization hasn't made a decision about its course of action yet. Manager Bruce Bochy acknowledged that the infielder has a problem with a tendon and plans to discuss Scutaro's options with him. Fantasy Tip: According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons' Web site, it's also called "baseball finger" and occurs when the extensor tendon in a finger is damaged and causes a deformity. Scutaro has been quite a help in the batting average category, although not much else, this season, and this would be a somewhat significant blow to the team's offense. Nick Noonan and Tony Abreu appear to be the short-term options. Perhaps the Giants will consider calling up Kensuke Tanaka from Triple-A Fresno. The 22-year-old has posted a .316/.377/.396 slash line and 14 stolen bases through 53 games and would merit a look in NL-only leagues, at least.
Tue, 11 Jun 2013 19:36:45 -0700 San Francisco Giants 2B Marco Scutaro (hand) left the game Tuesday, June 11, against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the seventh inning due to a left hand injury. He was hit by a pitch, but suffered only a bruise. X-rays after the game came back negative for a fracture.
Thu, 30 May 2013 17:13:27 -0700 San Francisco Giants 2B Marco Scutaro (illness) missed the game with flu-like symptoms Thursday, May 30.
