LaMonte Wade Jr. of the Giants suffered a left leg injury while sliding into second base against the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday. The injury occurred after he doubled off the right field wall and grabbed his back in the hamstring area. Despite assistance from an athletic trainer, Wade was unable to walk off the field without gingerly steps.
On Friday, Wade sustained a hamstring tweak during the Giants’ game against the New York Mets. He did not play on Saturday but entered as a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning. Unfortunately, he did not participate in Sunday’s game either.
This season, Wade has been an essential player for the Giants, with a batting average of .333 and an OBP of .470. Losing him for an extended period would be devastating to the team. In Monday’s game, he went 1-for-3 and has accumulated six doubles, two home runs, and 17 RBI so far this season.
