Wednesday BP: A flurry of injury updates

Hello and happy Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the San Francisco Giants updated the injury status of five players: Austin Slater, Drew Smyly, Jeff Samardzija, Reyes Moronta, and Aramis Garcia.

None of those players seem all that close to returning, but progress is progress. Keep it up.

Did Barry Bonds hit a home run today?

Of course. Oh wait, no, that’s not right. He actually didn’t!
