ST. LOUIS -- San Francisco Giants outfielder Mitch Haniger broke his right forearm when hit by a pitch from St. Louis Cardinals starter Jack Flaherty in the third inning of the Giants' 11-3 win on Tuesday night.
"Any time you get hit, the hand's warm and it doesn't feel great," Haniger said. "Injuries are part of the game, at same time you've got to focus on what's next."
Haniger battled back from an oblique injury in spring training and was rounding into form. The 32-year-old left fielder, who is hitting .230 with four homers and 22 RBIs, drove in two runs to help the Giants beat the Cardinals 4-2 on Monday night.
"He worked so hard to get back and he was just starting to get on a roll," Giants manager Gabe Kapler said. "He was starting to swing the bat good and feel good. This is a pretty good gut punch for Mitch and our club."
San Francisco infielder J.D. Davis sprained his right ankle in the third inning during a hard slide into third base. A Giants athletic trainer came out to work on Davis' leg before the veteran player slowly walked off.
Davis, 30, leads the Giants this season with 35 RBIs, and he improved his batting average to .286 by going 1-for-2 on Tuesday.
