The San Francisco Giants placed OF Andres Torres (Achilles') on the 15-day disabled list with a left Achilles' strain Thursday, Aug. 22, and recalled INF Nick Noonan and OF Francisco Peguero from Triple-A Fresno in corresponding moves. Also, RP Mike Kickham was optioned to Fresno.

Fantasy Tip: Gregor Blanco should now move into an everyday role in center field with Torres sidelined. However, with Angel Pagan (hamstring) nearing a return, that'll probably be short-lived.

San Francisco Giants OF Gregor Blanco was hitless in three at-bats with a walk and a strikeout Wednesday, Aug. 14, against the Washington Nationals. He is now hitting just .113 since the All-Star break.

Fantasy Tip: Blanco is only worth using in the deepest of NL-only fantasy leagues right now until he starts to show a little more consistency at the plate.

San Francisco Giants OF Angel Pagan (hamstring) is pretty much done for the year, general manager Brian Sabean said on the radio on Friday, July 5.

Fantasy Tip: This isn't surprising, but there was some hope he'd be back in September. Fantasy owners don't have to worry about letting him go, and Gregor Blanco should continue to rule in center field as long as he's producing. Andres Torres has received most of the time in left, so it'll be interesting to see if the Giants look for alternatives. Cole Gillespie just replaced Juan C. Perez on the 25-man roster, but Perez is likely the only other in-house candidate who could factor in.

San Francisco Giants OF Angel Pagan (hamstring) will undergo surgery on a small tear to his hamstring Tuesday, June 24, and will miss the next 10-to-12 weeks.

Fantasy Tip: It is likely that Juan C. Perez, Gregor Blanco and Andres Torres will all see playing time in Pagan’s absence, with Perez being in line to get most of the starts.
