Posey went hitless in his lone at-bat before departing. SAN FRANCISCO Buster Posey will miss his second consecutive start as the Giants’ catcher deals with a thumb injury that forced him to exit Sunday’s game against the Diamondbacks early. Buster Poseys comeback led to him being selected for the All-Star team for the seventh time and its a big reason why the Giants are surging toward the playoffs for the first time in five years (he wont play on Tuesday because of a thumb injury). In all, he won World Series titles in 2010, ’12 and ’14.
