3 years agoSan Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Slater left the game early in the club's 9-3 win over the Nationals on Saturday due to a knee contusion that he suffered during Friday's contest. Slater was able to make it into the seventh inning after going 0-for-3 with a pair of punchouts, but by that time the Giants built up the six-run lead, so he could have been pulled as a precaution. The 29-year-old picked up the ailment after crashing into the wall last night, and should be considered day-to-day until we hear more information from the club. Slater is hitting .237 with a pair of homers and steals so far after finishing the 2021 campaign with 12 HR and 15 thefts.--Riley Mrack - RotoBaller
