Ray Durham returned to the lineup on Saturday and had two hits and two RBI thanks in part to his first home run of the season.The Giants would like to move Durham in a trade to free up salary and space in the lineup for a youngster, but until he proves that he can stay healthy and hit better than the .218 mark he posted last year, he figures to remain a Giant.

Ray Durham is back on the bench on Friday, due in part to a bruised left shoulder. The Giants also want to give more time to Eugenio Velez. "A little bit of both, but more my decision [to play Velez]," manager Bruce Bochy admits to MLB.com. "I figured Durham still would be a little sore, but, honestly, I haven't talked with him. Velez is 100 percent [healthy] and he's playing well."Sounds like there's good communication between Durham and Bochy.
