Madison Bumgarner suffered a fractured pinky finger on his left hand after being hit by a comebacker in Friday's Cactus League game.
Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic first reported the bad news. Bumgarner departed the game after being struck on the hand by a sharp line drive off the bat of the Royals' Whit Merrifield. The Giants' ace attempted to field the ball after being hit but was unable to pick it up.
He is going to have surgery on Saturday to insert pins into the broken finger. The early estimate is that he'll miss 6-8 weeks of action, but there should be more clarity in the coming days.
