With Slater, Haniger unlikely for Opening Day, where do SF Giants turn in their outfield?

Speedy Bryce Johnson, versatile Brett Wisely and impressive Blake Sabol are all candidates to fill in for Mitch Haniger and Austin Slater.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — After making it through most of spring training without any major injuries, the Giants now find themselves scrambling to fill out their outfield, less than two weeks away from Opening Day. Mitch Haniger isn’t likely to be ready, and neither is Austin Slater, after an MRI on Friday revealed a strained left hamstring.

The first is Rule 5 pick Blake Sabol, who had possibly already played his way on to the roster with his torrid spring. But if Haniger is unable to go, that should ensure Sabol’s spot on the roster. While the Giants wanted to focus on converting him into a catcher this spring, Sabol made his second start in left field on Saturday, as the club prepares contingency plans in the outfield.

It is looking more necessary, with Slater’s injury leaving Mike Yastrzemski as the only true centerfielder on the roster.
