Reiver Sanmartin Out Three Months With Severe Hip Flexor Strain

The Giants announced that bullpen hopeful Reiver Sanmartin will miss at least three months after an MRI revealed a severe hip flexor strain. Sanmartin, who was claimed off waivers from the Reds in November, will be placed on the extended injured list and will not occupy a 40-man roster spot. His absence leaves the Giants thin on left-handed relief options, with Matt Gage currently the only healthy southpaw available in the bullpen.
