Giants pitcher Hayden Birdsong has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 sprain in his ulnar collateral ligament, a condition often leading to Tommy John surgery. Following discomfort after a recent game, an MRI revealed the injury, prompting Birdsong to seek a second opinion in Dallas. While he could attempt rehabilitation, his struggles with command and control during spring training raise concerns about the Giants’ pitching depth. Manager Tony Vitello remains optimistic about Birdsong’s attitude as he navigates this setback.
