SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Despite a cast on his left arm, Hunter Pence arrived upbeat in the San Francisco Giants clubhouse on Friday.
Pence is expected to miss six to eight weeks after a pitch by the Chicago Cubs’ Corey Black fractured his left forearm on Thursday.
“I heal pretty fast, generally, usually quicker than I’m supposed to,” Pence said.
Pence has played in 383 consecutive games – the longest active streak in the majors – since the Giants traded for him in July 2012. He hit .277 with 20 home runs and 74 RBI last year for the World Series champion Giants.
Black reached out to Pence on Twitter, saying he hopes he heals quickly.
