On Wednesday, the San Francisco Giants will look to win their series with the Texas Rangers (in Arlington).
The Giants most recently lost by a score of 5-4 (but the series is tied up at 1-1).
Bryce Eldridge was not in the lineup for Tuesday’s loss.
That said, he had one hit and two RBIs off the bench.
Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Area wrote (on Tuesday): “Bryce Eldridge has a left thumb bruise after getting jammed a few times last week. He said the plan is for him to start at first base tomorrow. He also said he’s available to run tonight if the Giants need a stolen base.”

Here’s what people were saying about Wednesday’s lineup:
@bms87: “With Chapman being out for an extended period of time why not give Parks Harber some run? They already know what Kennedy can and can’t do, plus they already let him go once.”
@saelee0: “I know we don’t really have anybody else but I’m sick of seeing Buddy Kennedy get ABs”
@dom_tuff: “Now this I like, Gilbert & Chapman at CF & 3B would be my favorite lineup of the year”
