Pre-game notes: First baseman Aubrey Huff, who sat out yesterday due to a stiff back, says he’s feeling better today. He will sit out today and then play Tuesday, after the Giants’ off-day on Monday … The Giants made nine more spring cuts this morning, reassigning Chris Dominguez, Nick Noonan, Juan Perez, Justin Fitzgerald, Jackson Williams, Mitch Lively, and Matt Yourkin, and sending Hector Correa and Tyler Graham to Triple-A Fresno. That leaves 43 players in camp. You can view the <a title="22gigantes.com: "Non-roster invitees"" href="http://22gigantes.com/front-office/roster/non-roster-invitees/" target="_blank">updated non-roster invitees list here. Evidently, Perez will leave after today’s game since he is penciled in as the starting right fielder.
