SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Barry Bonds was excused from the Giants' exhibition game Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics, and is expected back in the lineup Wednesday night.
Bonds traveled to his home in the Los Angeles area to spend time with his family during the Giants' off day Monday. A team spokesman said the San Francisco left fielder wasn't able to get back in time to join the team for batting practice before the Giants hosted the A's at Scottsdale Stadium.
Bonds cleared his possible absence with manager Felipe Alou beforehand.
