Giants' Parks Harber: Sidelined with Grade 2 strain
Rotowire
The Giants announced Wednesday that Harber has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain and will require 4-to-6 weeks of recovery time, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
One of the top position prospects in the Giants organization, Harber wasn't in serious consideration for a spot on the Opening Day roster but had impressed nonetheless throughout the spring, slashing .357/.424/.571 over 33 Cactus League plate appearances before sustaining the hamstring injury Saturday. He now appears on track to miss at least the first month of the minor-league season while recovering from the injury, but once he's back to full health, Harber is expected to report to Double-A Richmond, according to Pavlovic.

He was taken to the clubhouse to undergo further tests from medical staff, and the Astros should have an update on Harber's status over the coming days. Across three levels in the minors last year, Harber slashed .323/.413/.528 with 10 steals (on 12 attempts), 14 home runs and 83 RBI in 343 plate appearances.
