San Francisco Giants news, rumors and injuriesWed, 22 May 2013 12:08:49 -0700 San Francisco Giants 3B Pablo Sandoval (illness) and 1B Brandon Belt (back) are out of the lineup Wednesday, May 22. Sandoval is dealing with an illness and Belt had some back tightness. Fantasy Tip: Neither player figures to miss significant time, so there is a good chance they are both back in the lineup after an off day Thursday. Share: Giants | Marco Scutaro has longest hit streak of season Wed, 22 May 2013 01:02:41 -0700 San Francisco Giants 2B Marco Scutaro extended his hitting streak to 19 games with a double to left field Tuesday, May 21, against the Washington Nationals. Share: Giants | Santiago Casilla could need surgery Tue, 21 May 2013 16:56:56 -0700 San Francisco Giants RP Santiago Casilla (knee) is going for a second opinion on his sore knee, and surgery is a possibility. Share: Giants | Ryan Vogelsong out 6-8 weeks Tue, 21 May 2013 16:48:15 -0700 San Francisco Giants SP Ryan Vogelsong (hand) will be out six to eight weeks after having successful surgery on his hand Tuesday, May 21. Fantasy Tip: Given Vogelsong's disappointing performance this year, you shouldn't be loyal any longer and hold onto him in a mixed league. The Giants have yet to name a rotation replacement, but it'll likely be a commodity only worth mentioning for NL managers. Share: Giants | Ryan Vogelsong to have surgery Tue, 21 May 2013 11:11:40 -0700 San Francisco Giants SP Ryan Vogelsong (hand) will have surgery Tuesday, May 21, and he'll likely have pins inserted to stabilize his hand and help speed up the healing process. He broke two bones in his right pinkie and dislocated a knuckle that the training staff couldn't pop back into place. Fantasy Tip: This is very discouraging for Vogelsong and his owners, since it was easily his best start of what has been a disappointing season so far. It's safe to drop him in most mixed leagues. Shane Loux and Chad Gaudin are rotation candidates, but they don't inspire much excitement. Share: Giants | Make disabled list moves Tue, 21 May 2013 10:27:26 -0700 The San Francisco Giants placed Ryan Vogelsong (hand) and Santiago Casilla (knee) on the 15-day disabled list. They recalled 1B Brett Pill and RP Sandy Rosario from Class AAA Fresno. Fantasy Tip: It's yet to be determined who'll replace Vogelsong in the rotation for the next month-plus. Rosario probably isn't an option because he's only started two games at any level since 2009. Casilla's loss leaves Jeremy Affeldt as the chief setup man. Pill is still just NL-only depth. Share: Giants | Ryan Vogelsong suffers broken hand Tue, 21 May 2013 05:05:23 -0700 San Francisco Giants SP Ryan Vogelsong (hand) suffered a fractured right hand after he was hit by a pitch Monday, May 20. Fantasy Tip: He'll probably be out at least two months, as it takes 4-6 weeks to heal. After that, he'll need 2-3 weeks to build his arm strength back up to pitch. The team doesn't have an obvious replacement. Shane Loux is 4-1 with a 3.68 ERA at Triple-A Fresno, but he's a 33-year-old journeyman. Chad Gaudin could be an option out of the bullpen. He has a 2.10 ERA and 24 K's in 25 2/3 innings. Share: Giants | Sergio Romo is healthy Sun, 19 May 2013 20:14:29 -0700 San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy used RP Chad Gaudin Sunday, May 19, in a tune-up inning against the Colorado Rockies rather than turning to RP Sergio Romo for some work. After the game, Bochy said Romo is fine, and both pitchers are available to pitch Monday, May 20. Share: Giants | Nick Noonan is fine Sun, 19 May 2013 20:14:04 -0700 San Francisco Giants SS Nick Noonan (collarbone) was hit on the collarbone while playing second base in the game Sunday, May 19, against the Colorado Rockies. However, manager Bruce Bochy said Noonan is fine. Share: Giants | More on Angel Pagan Sun, 19 May 2013 20:13:32 -0700 Updating a previous report, San Francisco Giants OF Angel Pagan (illness) was lightheaded, and received intravenous fluids before the game Sunday, May 19. Manager Bruce Bochy said it caught up to Pagan, and that's why he was removed from the game. Share: Giants | Angel Pagan leaves game Sun, 19 May 2013 14:54:34 -0700 San Francisco Giants OF Angel Pagan (illness) left the team's game Sunday, May 19, because of an illness. Share: Giants | Ryan Vogelsong to make next start Thu, 16 May 2013 16:15:09 -0700 San Francisco Giants SP Ryan Vogelsong will make his next scheduled start Monday, May 20. Fantasy Tip: Vogelsong has been awful this year with a 1-4 record and an 8.06 ERA in eight starts. Some are speculating that his involvement in the World Baseball Classic is the reason for his rough start, but that is just one theory. In mixed leagues, it's wise to look elsewhere until he can get straightened out. Share: Giants | Ryan Vogelsong to be removed from rotation? Wed, 15 May 2013 20:34:39 -0700 San Francisco Giants SP Ryan Vogelsong was pounded for eight runs - three earned - and six hits with two walks over two innings in a loss Wednesday, May 15, against the Toronto Blue Jays. After the game, manager Bruce Bochy said there is no guarantee Vogelsong will take his next turn in the rotation Monday, May 20. Fantasy Tip: Vogelsong slipped to 1-4 while his ERA ballooned to 8.06 on the season. Right now, Vogelsong isn't even worth starting in the deepest of NL-only fantasy leagues. It's possible he could temporarily be moved to the bullpen until he gets his mechanics in order. Share: Giants | Santiago Casilla ready to go Wed, 15 May 2013 14:37:42 -0700 San Francisco Giants RP Santiago Casilla (knee) threw off a mound Tuesday, May 14, and said he's ready to pitch. He's wearing a knee brace. Share: Giants | Brett Pill recalled Mon, 13 May 2013 11:49:48 -0700 The San Francisco Giants recalled 1B Brett Pill from the minors Monday, May 13, and optioned OF Francisco Peguero in a corresponding move. Fantasy Tip: It's unclear how often Pill will be in the team's starting lineup, but this can't be good news for Brandon Belt, who hasn't been able to get going this season. Pill's power hasn't translated to the majors yet, and he'll have to improve against lefties to overtake Belt, though. Share:  |
