Aubrey Huff is suffering a tight lower back, so the San Francisco Giants have decided to recall Brandon Belt from Triple-A.
Huff is not seriously hurt but he does need a few days off as his back reportedly gives him trouble when he bends at the waist.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy says Huff will still be the starter at first base as soon as he is healthy again.
From SFGiants.com:
This enables me to give [Huff] a few more days off and maybe late in the game, just get him off his legs — similar to what we did last year,” Bochy said. “He’s been out there grinding pretty hard. I don’t want to break Aubrey down…
This is Belt’s third stint in the majors this season. He has yet to prove he is ready to play at this level, hitting .211 with a .609 OPS, one home run and four RBIs with the Giants prior to tonight.
