Angel Pagan injury: Giants CF to have back surgery, out for season - SBNation.com:

"There was no sense trying," Bochy said of Pagan trying to return, per Andrew Baggarly of CSN Bay Area. "This wasn't going to work." 

 Pagan hit .300/.342/.389 with 56 runs scored in 96 games for the Giants this season. He missed 44 games from June 15 to Aug. 7 with inflammation in his back earlier this season, and the Giants went 18-26. 

San Francisco was in first place with a seven-game lead when Pagan was placed on the disabled list, but when he returned they were in second place, two games out.

The Giants are 56-35 (.615) when Pagan starts this year, and 29-36 (.446) when he doesn't.
