Veteran outfielder Hunter Pence announced Saturday that he would be hanging up his cleats after a 14-year career. Pence last played with the Giants this season, where he spent eight years and won two World Series titles. A four-time All-Star, Pence finished with nearly 1,800 career hits, a career .334 OBP, and 244 home runs. Having been a fantasy asset as recently as the start of 2020, Pence can now shift onto the waiver wire permanently after a brilliant career that was packed with key hits and...

San Francisco Giants outfielder/designated hitter Hunter Pence was designated for assignment prior to Sundays contest against the D-backs. Pence has gotten off to a tremendously slow start in 2020, slashing .096/.161/.250 through his first 17 games. After an All-Star campaign last year, Pence appeared to have revived himself into a fantasy commodity, but his new surroundings throw that into question. With Pence off the roster, the club activated Sam Coonrod off of the injured list.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence (foot) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting fifth on Thursday night against Dodgers right-handed starter Dustin May. Pence was dealing with some foot inflammation in the last part of summer camp, but he's clearly fine to hit to open the regular season. The universal DH in the National League this year boost's Pence's fantasy stock a bit in deep mixed and NL-only leagues, but nobody should really be expecting him to repeat his ...

San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence (foot) did some running on Wednesday but still isn't playing the field and served as the designated hitter in an intrasquad game on Thursday. The veteran outfielder is dealing with some inflammation in his foot and might not be ready to play the field by Opening Day, but the universal designated hitter in 2020 could allow Pence not to miss out on any at-bats once the season starts. The 37-year-old surprised many last year by slashing .297/.358/.552 ...

San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence's (foot) MRI exam on Friday revealed inflammation in his foot. He is still hitting, but the coaching staff will keep him from running over the weekend, according to manager Gabe Kapler. It's good news for the 37-year-old and his chances of being ready by Opening Day on July 23 against the Dodgers. The veteran outfielder was an All-Star in 2019 in a bounce-back season with the Rangers when he hit .297/.358/.552 with 18 home runs, 59 RBI, 53 runs and ...

San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence (foot) underwent an MRI exam on his right foot, which has been bothering him in summer camp. The Giants should have the results of the exam later on Friday. Consider the 37-year-old veteran day-to-day for now, but this isn't what you want to see from an aging outfielder coming off a rebound season in Texas when he hit .297/.358/.552 with 18 home runs, 59 RBI, 53 runs scored and six stolen bases in 83 games. In 2018 with San Fran, Pence hit just .226 ...

San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence (foot) took batting practice on Wednesday but wasn't able to run the bases or play the outfield as a precautionary measure because of minor pain in his foot, according to manager Gabe Kapler. Catcher Buster Posey missed another practice Wednesday because of a personal issue that kept him away from a workout last Friday. Pence surprised by hitting .297 with 18 home runs in 83 games for the Rangers in 2019, but the 37-year-old is an injury risk for ...

San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence is the obvious candidate for the team's designated hitter spot this year given his age (37) and the fact that he's coming off a season with the Rangers where he mostly served as the DH while also dealing with injury and posting an OPS of .910. Pablo Sandoval could be another option, as his main position of third base is blocked by Evan Longoria. Wilmer Flores gives the Giants strong depth at almost every infield position, but he's another DH ...

The San Francisco Giants are in agreement on an undisclosed deal with outfielder Hunter Pence, according to a source. Pence is headed to San Francisco on Friday to take a physical after turning down offers from the Astros and Padres. The veteran outfielder was named the American League Comeback Player of the Year in 2019 with the Rangers when he hit .297/.358/.552 with 18 home runs, 59 RBI and six stolen bases in 286 at-bats. His second half was cut short by injuries, but it was a great season ...

The Houston Astros have made an offer to outfielder Hunter Pence, according to MLB sources. Pence was drafted by Houston and played for them from 2007 to 2011. He's a four-time All-Star, including in 2019 with the Rangers when he hit .297 with 18 home runs and 59 RBI in a resurgent season. The 36-year-old (37 in April) also won two World Series titles with the Giants and played for them from 2012 to 2018. Despite the good season in 2019, groin and back ailments limited him, and it remains to be ...
