Belt, 33, hasn’t played a game this spring but is ‘very tentatively’ set to make his debut Monday vs. A’s.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — With a week until Opening Day and lingering discomfort in his knee, San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt at last has a “very tentative” plan to appear in his first spring training game.
“He’s been getting tons of reps, so he’s seen a lot of live pitching already,” said manager Gabe Kapler, who pointed to Belt’s experience last season, when he was also limited for much of the spring. “We saw last year that we don’t need a long ramp up of in-game spring training reps with somebody in the other uniform on the other side to get Brandon Belt ready to play baseball.”
Belt arrived at spring training this year dealing with discomfort in his knee that has prevented him from getting in to a Cactus League game. But Belt has been a regular participant in drills on the backfield that include taking ground balls at first base and facing live pitching in batting practice sessions. One recent live BP session that was scheduled for Monday was canned because Belt was under the weather.
