Joyce (back) recently received a second epidural shot and hopes to resume swinging a bat in the near future, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joyce had the first epidural injection in mid-July but suffered a setback a couple days ago after being cleared to start baseball activities. He will likely remain sidelined for another 10-to-14 days, though a better timetable should come into focus once he resumes swinging a bat.
