NEW YORK -- San Francisco infielder Eduardo Nunez was left off the roster for Wednesday night's NL wild-card game against the New York Mets, and the Giants opted to go with 11 pitchers.
Madison Bumgarner starts for the Giants, and manager Bruce Bochy has 10 bullpen options: right-handers Santiago Casilla, Johnny Cueto, George Kontos, Derek Law, Sergio Romo, Jeff Samardzija and Hunter Strickland, and left-handers Javier Lopez, Steven Okert and Will Smith.
Cueto and Samardzija are usually starters.
Pitchers Matt Cain and Jake Peavy weren't included on the 25-man roster.
Nunez hasn't played since Sept. 25 because of a strained right hamstring.
New York went with an eight-man bullpen behind starter Noah Syndergaard: right-handers Bartolo Colon, Jeurys Familia, Robert Gsellman, Addison Reed, Hansel Robles and Fernando Salas, and left-handers Jerry Blevins and Josh Edgin. Colon, a starter, excelled in a bullpen role during the 2015 postseason.
First baseman Lucas Duda, sidelined from May 20 to Sept. 18 by a stress fracture in his lower back, was left off the roster, as was left-hander Josh Smoker.
