Evans gets fired as GM of Giants

Bobby Evans was fired as the San Francisco Giants’ general manager.

San Francisco said Monday that Evans will be reassigned, with responsibilities to be determined.

The Giants began the final week of the season 72-84, their second straight losing record. The team will start a search for a new head of baseball operations.

Evans was hired by the Giants in 1994, became vice president of baseball operations in 2009 under general manager Brian Sabean and was promoted to GM in April 2015 when Sabean became executive vice president of baseball operations.

A major league-best 57-33 at the 2016 all-star break, the Giants are 166-224 since.

Gregorius may return soon: New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius hopes to return from a wrist injury this week and start in the AL wild-card game on Oct. 3.

Gregorius hurt his right wrist Saturday when he slid headfirst on Aaron Hicks’ 11th-inning double to score the run that clinched a postseason berth. An MRI on Sunday revealed a small tear.

“Feeling stronger. More movement,” Gregorius said.

He is hitting .268 with a careerhigh 27 homers and 86 RBI. The 28year-old had a cortisone shot and will be examined Wednesday.

“He felt significantly better with some of the range of motion things he’s able to do,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “The true indicator will come Wednesday when he’s re-evaluated and we see how he does.”
