Wade leaves the Giants-Phillies game after suffering a left leg injury originally appeared in NBC Sports Bay Area
First baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. left the Giants’ game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday at Oracle Park after suffering an apparent left leg injury.
Wade doubled off the right field wall, but as he slid into second base, he was injured and immediately grabbed the back of his left leg in the hamstring area.

Wade was able to walk off the field cautiously with the help of an athletic trainer.
Wade strained his hamstring in the ninth inning of the Giants’ thrilling win over the New York Mets on Friday and did not start Saturday’s game, although he came in as a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning. He did not play on Sunday in the series finale.
Wade was one of the Giants’ best hitters this season and they can’t afford to lose him for an extended period of time.
The 30-year-old player finished the game 1-3 and is hitting .333/.470/.426 with six doubles, two homers and 17 RBI this season.
