SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The San Francisco Giants haven’t officially set their Opening Day roster, but the man in charge of making those decisions provided a pretty comprehensive outline of their plans.Speaking with Dave Flemming and Shawn Estes on the NBC Sports Bay Area telecast during Thursday evening’s game against the Guardians, president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi indicated that Rule 5 pick Blake Sabol, speedy outfielder Bryce Johnson and tall right-hander Sean Hjelle had the inside track to the final spots on their 26-man roster.While the three players have been among the most impressive in camp, the Giants only have open spots on the roster because of injuries. With Austin Slater and Mitch Haniger expected to start the season on the injured list, that opened two needs in the outfield, which can be filled by Johnson and Sabol.If San Francisco carries 13 position players and 13 pitchers, that left one spot on the pitching staff not yet spoken for.

Federal Railroad Administration spokesperson Warren Flatau told KUOW there was a miscommunication between the train crew and the bridge tender. He said it appeared neither the BNSF bridg...
