Reds 2012 Nemesis Hunter Pence To Be Activated Tomorrow





Hunter Pence fractured his left forearm in the third game of spring training when Cubs' right-hander Corey Black hit him with a pitch.

Pence, who rallied the Giants troops emotionally in Cincinnati during the Giants comeback in the division series from a two-game deficit, will return to haunt the Reds this weekend.

The 31-year old outfielder will return from a successful rehab assignment that he started last Friday with the Triple A Sacramento Bees.  He had two hits last night for the Bees in Las Vegas and will arrive in Cincinnati during the Friday night game against the Reds.

The Giants have struggled to score runs this season and have missed Pence in the lineup.

"I think any offense can use a Hunter Pence. He gives you power and speed," said manager Bruce Bochy. "We miss him in the lineup and in the clubhouse.  He brings energy and enthusiasm. It will be good for all to have him back."
