Danny Schell of the Giants just might have to call it quits for the season.

Schell suffered a strained thigh muscle while running the bases. The Giants medical staff said he could be out quite some time, as much as one week.
Posting a .312 batting average to date, Schell has 29 home runs and 71 RBIs.
