SAN FRANCISCO — Giants catcher Buster Posey doesn’t support any of the threats made toward Scott Cousins, the Marlins player who ended his season in a collision at home plate May 25.
“I appreciate the continued support of Giants fans and others as I begin the process of working my way back,” Posey said in a statement Saturday. “But in no way do I condone threats of any kind against Scott Cousins or his family.”
The Giants plan to place heralded rookie Brandon Belt on the disabled list after an MRI revealed a hairline fracture in the slugger’s left wrist.
