    SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- San Francisco Giants right fielder Hunter Pence suffered a nondisplaced fracture of his left ulna Thursday and will be out six to eight weeks, the team said.

    Pence was hit on the left arm by a pitch from hard-throwing Chicago Cubs prospect Corey Black in the sixth inning of Thursday's spring training game. X-rays taken before the end of the game confirmed the injury to the ulna, one of two bones that make up the forearm.

    Giants manager Bruce Bochy left the dugout during the game to visit Pence in the trainer's room and see how his right fielder felt.

    "You know Hunter, he's always upbeat, optimistic," Bochy said before the official diagnosis was made. "He tried to get out of the way, and [the pitch] kind of ran and caught him there. If it is broken, the silver lining is, it's this early in the spring, we'll have a month to start the healing process."[More..with video]
