Pence returned to the Giants after a stint with the Texas Rangers last season. While with the Rangers, he had a .910 OPS and earned himself a spot on the American League All-Star team.
This season, however, the 37-year-old has struggled at the plate, slashing .096/.161/.250. He re-signed with the Giants in February on a one-year, $3 million deal.
Pence helped the Giants win two World Series in 2012 and 2014.
