Edgar Renteria (Giants):
Shortstop Edgar Renteria is out for the second consecutive game because of soreness in both shoulders. He had an MRI on his left shoulder that showed a sprained AC joint and some biceps tendinitis. And, of course, he continues to battle a right elbow that will require offseason surgery to remove bone spurs. He has been playing with all these ailments for some time.
