Giants manager Bruce Bochy confirmed that first baseman Brandon Belt will make his return from the disabled list Friday in San Diego, MLB.com reports Wednesday.
Friday makes it eight weeks since Belt fractured his left thumb, and Belt has been putting in work on a minor-league rehab assignment to work his way back. Belt will return to his usual spot at first base when he returns from the DL.
Belt was hitting .264/.317/.504 with nine home runs and 18 RBI in 35 games before the injury.
