Jeremy Affeldt - R - Giants

Giants placed LHP Jeremy Affeldt on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 15, with a strained right oblique.

The Giants aren't sure when the left-hander was injured, but he'll need at least two weeks of down time, and probably more. Jean Machi has been brought up to take Affeldt's spot in the bullpen.

Jeremy Affeldt underwent laser eye surgery in November.

It shouldn't affect his preparation for the new season. Affeldt, who signed a three-year, $18 million extension with the Giants last month, posted a 2.70 ERA over 63 1/3 innings in 2012.

Giants signed LHP Jeremy Affeldt to a three-year, $18 million contract.

The deal was agreed to on Monday, then made official Wednesday after Affeldt passed his pre-signing physical. The 33-year-old left-hander posted a 2.70 ERA in 63 1/3 innings this past season for the World Series-champion Giants. He has a 2.66 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 8.0 K/9 since the beginning of the 2011 campaign.

Jeremy Affeldt is expected to take a physical Tuesday.

If Affeldt passes -- and there's no reason to think that he won't -- his new three-year contract with the Giants will become official. That deal is thought to be worth around $18 million. Affeldt, 33, had a 2.70 ERA in 63 1/3 innings this season with the World Series champions.

Jeremy Affeldt - R - Giants

According to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, the Giants and Jeremy Affeldt have agreed to a three-year contract.

The deal is expected to be worth a total of $18 million. Affeldt boasts a 2.66 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 8.0 K/9 since the beginning of the 2011 season and held left-handed batters to a .236/.319/.302 slash line in 2012. The 33-year-old lefty drew "considerable interest" on the open market, says Heyman, before re-singing with San Fran.

Jeremy Affeldt - R - Giants

Buster Olney of ESPN.com reports that Jeremy Affeldt's new contract with the Giants -- assuming it's completed -- is expected to be for three years and $18 million.

All signs point to the deal being finalized before long. It's a pretty big haul for the left-hander, though it can be argued that Affledt has been one of the better relievers in the National League over the last two seasons. If the deal is indeed completed, fellow lefty Sean Burnett's market value shoots up.

Jeremy Affeldt - R - Giants

Bob Nightengale of USAToday.com reports that the Giants are "confident" they'll be able to re-sign Jeremy Affeldt.

Nightengale says it will likely be a three-year deal, which would be the second straight three-year pact the southpaw signs. He got $14 million the first time around and seems likely to receive something similar this time after putting up two straight terrific years.

Jeremy Affeldt jammed his left thumb while trying to avoid a foul ball in the dugout during Game 5 of the NLDS against the Reds on Thursday.

Affeldt was seen wearing a brace on his hand after the incident, but he said he only wore it just so he wouldn't make things worse during the team's post-game celebration. As of now, the veteran southpaw should be fine for the NLCS against either the Cardinals or Nationals.
