Marco Scutaro has been diagnosed with a left hip injury and will undergo X-rays.

Scutaro was injured in the first inning of Monday's game when Matt Holliday took him out on a rough slide at second base. He remained in the game for five innings despite being noticeably hobbled, but the Giants eventually thought better of it and pulled him. The Giants should have an update on his status later Monday.

Scutaro was injured in the first inning when Matt Holliday took him out on a rough slide at second base.

Marco Scutaro went 3-for-5 and knocked in three runs Saturday against the Padres.

Scutaro is working on a 12-game hitting streak, but that's only half the story. He's reached at least twice in all but one of the games and scored in 10 of them. He's also gone nine straight games without striking out. He now has 38 RBI in 53 games for San Francisco after driving in a total of 30 runs in 95 games for the Rockies.

Marco Scutaro told Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com that he would like to return to the Giants next season.

Scutaro wasn't too thrilled when he was traded from the Rockies in July, but it hasn't taken him long to get comfortable in his return to the Bay Area. "I would love to come back here," said Scutaro, an impending free agent. "I really love it here. There are great fans, it's a great place to play. More important, it's a place where you have a chance to win every year." Scutaro is willing to sign during the team's exclusive negotiating window after the season and Baggarly hears that the Giants "will make every effort" to keep him since they don't have any major-league ready alternatives at second base. Scutaro, who turns 37 in October, is batting .293/.336/.388 with six home runs, 60 RBI, nine stolen bases and a .724 OPS in 139 games played this season between the Giants and Rockies.

Marco Scutaro got the big hit in Friday's 5-2 win over the Dodgers, untying a 2-2 game with a two-run single off Josh Beckett in the seventh.

Scutaro also played a big role when they tied the game in the ninth, as he doubled and scored on Buster Posey's hit. With a .322 average and 23 RBI in 146 at-bats since coming over from the Rockies, he's been a nice upgrade over Ryan Theriot at second base for the Giants.

Marco Scutaro went 2-for-5 and hit a two-run homer Friday against the Padres.

We know the Giants fell in love with Ryan Theriot for some reason, but Scutaro is the superior option as a starting second baseman now that Pablo Sandoval is back. He's hit .325 and driven in 17 runs while striking out just four times in 80 at-bats for the Giants. Theriot has 27 RBI in 322 at-bats for the season.

Scutaro is getting the day off despite hitting in four straight and going 3-for-5 with a double on Tuesday night. Ryan Theriot will start in his place and bat second against Stephen Strasburg.

The seven-RBI were a career high for Scutaro, who was playing in his 1,210th game. At least through 12 games, he's working out quite nicely for the Giants, hitting .347 with five extra-base hits and 13 RBI.

Marco Scutaro will make his Giants debut Saturday against the Dodgers.

Tracy Ringolsby of FOXSports.com reports that the Tigers are scouting Marco Scutaro Sunday.

It makes sense, as the Tigers are desperately in need of an upgrade at second base. Ringolsby's colleague, Jon Morosi, reported earlier this month that the asking price for Scutaro is high, but we can't imagine that that's the case.

Jon Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that Marco Scutaro is available via trade, but the price "remains high -- for now."

Scutaro is having a so-so year, batting .283/.334/.382 with four homers and six steals. He can play shortstop or second base, though, and some contenders may view him as an upgrade in their middle infield.
