Torres sees game action in Arizona
By Chris Haft / MLB.com | 04/29/11 8:01 PM ET
WASHINGTON -- Continuing his recovery from a strained left Achilles tendon,
Giants outfielder Andres Torres participated in his first extended spring
training game Friday in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Manager Bruce Bochy said that Torres had five at-bats in four innings under
simulated conditions, which allowed him to receive extra plate appearances.
Torres also stole a base, which encouraged Bochy.
"He's doing very well," Bochy said, relaying information from the club's
medical staff.
However, Bochy added that no timetable has been established for Torres'
return to center field.

Ross, Tejada swap spots in batting order
WASHINGTON -- Tweaking the lineup slightly, Giants manager Bruce Bochy
flip-flopped Miguel Tejada and Cody Ross in Friday night's series opener
against the Washington Nationals.
Tejada, who had batted eighth in 12 of the Giants' previous 24 games, moved
to the seventh spot. Ross, the No. 7 hitter in three of San Francisco's
previous four games and four times in seven games overall since being
activated from the disabled list, dropped to eighth.
Neither player has been overwhelming offensively, but Ross at least has the
excuse -- which he has avoided making -- of having just returned from an
injury. He and Tejada entered Friday batting .192 and .210, respectively.
Tejada's performance has been somewhat of a concern, though Bochy has urged
observers to remain patient with the six-time All-Star.
"We'll see if we can jump-start [Tejada]," Bochy said Friday.
Bochy added that Tejada, who provided hope by stroking a pinch-hit single in
Thursday's series finale at Pittsburgh, noticed some flaws to correct while
studying videos of himself.
"He feels pretty good with where he is. He sees a couple of things," Bochy
said.
Flu helped Sanchez concentrate on quick outs
WASHINGTON -- Jonathan Sanchez will be free of the flu that nagged him during
his previous two starts when he confronts the Washington Nationals on
Saturday.
But, as Sanchez reflected, performing while ill forced him to make some
useful adjustments.
"I didn't have any energy," Sanchez said Friday. "You just want to go to bed
and rest."
So Sanchez, who typically accumulates high strikeout totals but exhausts his
pitch limit by the middle innings, concentrated more than usual on pitching
to contact.
"I tried to get quick outs," said Sanchez, who did exactly that.
Sanchez threw 96 pitches while working a season-high 6 1/3 innings on April
19 at Colorado, which was his first flu-weakened outing. By comparison, he
needed 109 pitches to last six innings in his start before that one, April 13
against Los Angeles.
The difference wasn't as pronounced in Sanchez's last appearance, when he
threw 86 pitches in five innings against Atlanta last Sunday. But he still
proved to be more economical than he was in his other five-inning game, a
94-pitch effort against St. Louis in the April 8 home opener.
