Giants LaMonte Wade Jr. to miss four weeks with hamstring strai

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. will mi s at least four weeks with a left hamstring strain, the team announced Tuesday. Wade, who is batting .333 with two home runs this season, has been a regular at the top of the Giants lineup. He re-aggravated the hamstring after a hard slide into second on a double on Monday. Its the same injury that kept him out of the Dylan Dodd Jersey lineup over the weekend. Hes as good a left-handed hitter that there is in the league right now, manager Bob Melvin said. And not only that the flair for the dramatic, coming up big spots and getting big hits, as weve seen here for a while now. Thats going to be tough to replace. Wade was diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain. The Giants placed the 30-year-old on the 10-day injured list. Melvin said Wilmer Flores and Trenton Brooks are expected to fill in at first base. Brooks was called up from Triple-A Sacramento to make his major league debut Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies, batting ninth. Brooks, who was batting .308 with four home runs and 18 RBI this season in Triple-A, is a left-handed bat who the Giants hope can fill Wade's position against righties. Flores is off to a slow start, hitting .214 with a home run through 45 games. Griffin Canning Jersey
