SAN FRANCISCO -- New Giants catcher A.J. Pierzynski appeared before the grand jury, but he did not give testimony in the ongoing federal investigation into a Burlingame nutritional supplement laboratory, his attorney told the San Francisco Chronicle on Friday.


Attorney Bill Goodman said Pierzynski was excused Thursday after meeting with an assistant U.S. attorney.


"Mr. Pierzynski and I went into the grand jury waiting area, pursuant to the subpoena,'' Goodman told the newspaper. "We had a brief conversation with the U.S. attorney and the investigator. They each concluded he had no information about anything important. ... He was excused, and they apologized for bringing him in.''
