Patrick Bailey's injury highlights the unpredictable nature of injuries in baseball; once an oblique tightens up, a player must accept a short break.
Giants manager Bob Melvin's hope to have Bailey back by Wednesday was dashed when an MRI revealed the extent of the injury, confirming his absence.
While Bailey's offensive numbers dipped, his loss as the league's best defensive catcher and Gold Glove frontrunner is a significant blow for the Giants.
Curt Casali filled in admirably with two hits and crucial defensive plays, showcasing the depth the Giants rely on during key player absences.
