Giants shortstop Juan Uribe was written into the original Sunday starting lineup, batting sixth. He was later removed and replaced by Edgar Renteria. The reason? Uribe injured his wrist in Game 1 on Saturday night.
Juan Uribe Scratched From Game 2 Lineup With Injured Wrist
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Uribe will undergo tests on Monday in San Francisco, including an MRI, to determine the severity of the injury, but he is hopeful that Uribe will be able to play the rest of the NLCS, which resumes with Game 3 on Tuesday.
Uribe injured his wrist attempting a slide, and was having trouble swinging during Sunday batting practice. Through five playoff games so far, he’s gone 2-18 with two RBI. He had a .749 OPS during the regular season.
