Outfielder Angel Pagan, who already has missed the last several days of spring training, is receiving an injection Thursday for lower back stiffness and will miss at least the next three days of camp.
Pagan, who declared upon his arrival at spring training that he was completely healthy and ready to play the full season, hasn't played in a spring game since Saturday night. He has played in just seven spring games and is hitting .125 (2 for 16).      
Manager Bruce Bochy said Pagan is feeling slightly better and that the stiffness Pagan is feeling is not in the same place as where he had surgery to relieve a bulging disk late last season.
Bochy said Travis Ishikawa will start receiving more time in left field in Pagan's absence, with Gregor Blanco moving to center."
