Torres has been activated and first baseman Jesus Guzman was optioned to Fresno.
The Giants promoted Guzman with much fanfare, but Bochy said that with Pablo Sandoval likely to play first base when he returns from his elbow injury, "We're not at the point where we're going to get (Guzman) out there every day," and, "coming off the bench and playing once in awhile is not going to help him be a major-league player."
Guzman had one infield hit in 10 at-bats. He did not hit a ball out of the infield.
He did not seem too distressed about going down, saying, "I feel happy. This is the best baseball in the world, and I'm happy the San Francisco Giants gave me the opportunity. I'm going to Fresno right now. I want to play hard down there because I'm going to come back again. I want to come back again."

So much for that big bat. Looks like we might be stuck with Uribe at third with Sandoval and Ishikawa platooning at first when Sandoval's elbow is better. Now the Giants need to be in the market for a third baseman. Maybe since we are looking at Uggla he could move to third. Frandsen will also help out at third.
He's a true Giant
