SF Giants activate LaMonte Wade Jr. but lose 2 more players to injured list

SAN FRANCISCO — Just as the Giants added one piece back to their lineup, they lost two more.

LaMonte Wade Jr. was activated Friday before the first game of their series against the Dodgers, batted second and played first base in his first action since straining his left hamstring sliding into second base a month ago.

But he wasn’t receiving throws from his usual second baseman.

To clear room for Wade on the active roster, the Giants replaced him on the injured list with Thairo Estrada and Wilmer Flores.
