Marquis

Grissom

Grissom is listed as day-to-day.

Grissom saw the team podiatrist on Monday to review an MRI of his foot, and it was determined he has a mild case of tendinitis. He remains day-to-day, though trainer Stan Conte expects the injury to go away quickly.

He’s day-to-day.

As a result, ''You might see Marquis not running 100 percent, or Barry [Bonds] sometimes not running 75 percent,’' manager Felipe Alou said. ''All of that is connected to the situation.’' Given this information, you might think the Giants would be plagued by playable balls falling in for hits in their outfield. Doesn’t appear to be the case, though.

Trainer Stan Conte called it a ''significant’’ high hamstring injury. He doesn’t believe Grissom will have to go on the DL, but said this is something that could nag him all season if he tries to rush back.

Trainer Stan Conte said all tests were negative and Grissom can resume playing today.

Grissom appeared as a pinch-hitter late in the game, though Alou said his center fielder could use a couple games off.

Grissom was awful for two months, but in his last 14 games is hitting .285 with two homers and eight RBI. At 37, he can still put together a hot streak here and there (much like teammates J.T. Snow, Pedro Feliz, and Edgardo Alfonzo), but the fact remains that Mr. Bonds is the only hitter on the Giants who scares people.

Grissom’s .212 batting average probably means they’ll only pursue him if he’s released by the Giants.

The Twins are one of the teams interested in picking up Grissom. He should be employed again soon.
