This one’s the most obvious, but it still bears mentioning, particularly as it relates directly to the other three remedies.
Brandon Belt is still settling in at the dish after a few games off, and the latest from San Francisco’s injury ward is that Casey McGehee could be back on Friday. Travis Ishikawa could soon follow, according to Matt Kawahara of the Sacramento Bee. Most importantly, let’s not forget about Hunter Pence, who appears close to taking live batting practice:
Bochy said Pence been swinging whiffle bat, took some very light swings with a fungo. McGehee still not ready, staff felt needed 1 more day.

Getting McGehee back will be a nice boost, but with Matt Duffy filling in nicely for him at the hot corner, the addition of Pence to an outfield missing a productive third member is what Giants fans are all waiting for.
