Bumgarner sustained a displaced fracture on the pinkie knuckle of his pitching hand when he was hit by a Whit Merrifield line drive in the third inning of the Giants’ 9-6 loss to the Royals.

Bumgarner will have pins inserted into his hand to stabilize the fracture in the fifth metacarpal. Though the club provided no official prognosis, Bumgarner said he was told the pins would remain in his hand for at least four weeks, which means his recovery could be measured in months, not weeks.
