He’s expected to be sidelined for six to eight weeks.
Bumgarner was hit in the left hand by a line drive off the bat of Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield during a Cactus League game on Friday, resulting in a fracture of the fifth metacarpal.

In the meantime, Bumgarner can spend his time in other pursuits:
