Marco Scutaro - 2B - Giants

Marco Scutaro went 0-for-3 with two walks Wednesday against the Nationals, snapping his 19-game hitting streak.

That's fine: Scutaro has now reached base safely twice in 14 games in a row, which is more impressive anyway.

Brandon Belt - 1B - Giants

Brandon Belt is out of Wednesday's lineup due to back tightness.

It isn't a major concern, but Giants manager Bruce Bochy didn't want to take any chances. Consider him day-to-day for now. Brett Pill is filling in at first base Wednesday.

Pablo Sandoval is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Nationals due to illness.

Pablo Sandoval - 3B - Giants

Pablo Sandoval hit a walkoff homer off Yunesky Maya in the 10th inning Tuesday as the Giants beat the Nationals 4-2.

Maya wasn't exactly the Nationals' first choice to pitch in the 10th inning of a tie game, but he did manage to get one out before the two-run jack. That's something, right? Sandoval's blast to right-center was his eighth homer of the season. If he can stay healthy, he should surpass his career highs of 25 homers and 90 RBI established in 2009.

Santiago Casilla - R - Giants

Santiago Casilla will have the cyst on his right knee examined by a specialist on Wednesday.

Casilla has dealt with the cyst since last season, and a brace that he had been wearing wasn't working. He'll receive another opinion on Wednesday to see if there's another way to combat the issue.

Santiago Casilla - R - Giants

Giants placed RHP Santiago Casilla on the 15-day disabled list with a cyst on his right knee.

Casilla has been dealing with a cyst on his right knee and recently started wearing a brace, but he is apparently still feeling discomfort. The Giants are clearly hoping that a couple of weeks of rest will do the trick. Sandy Rosario will replace him in the bullpen.
May 21 - 1:09 PM
Ryan Vogelsong - S - Giants

Giants placed RHP Ryan Vogelsong on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured right hand.

Vogelsong was hit by a pitch while swinging the bat in the fifth inning Tuesday and suffered fractures above and below the top knuckle in his pinkie. He's expected to undergo surgery Tuesday and will likely miss around six weeks. Chad Gaudin is the most likely replacement for the rotation, though the Giants could call up Michael Kickham from Triple-A.
May 21 - 1:04 PM
Sandy Rosario - R - Giants

Giants recalled RHP Sandy Rosario from Triple-A Fresno.

He'll provide a fresh arm for the bullpen with Santiago Casilla (knee) headed to the disabled list. Rosario appeared in one game with the Giants earlier this month and owns a 3.33 ERA and 28/8 K/BB ratio over 24 1/3 innings this season in Triple-A.
May 21 - 12:57 PM
Brett Pill - 1B - Giants

Giants recalled 1B Brett Pill from Triple-A Fresno.

Pill was just sent down to the minors over the weekend, but he's eligible to return since Ryan Vogelsong and Santiago Casilla are headed to the disabled list. The 28-year-old went 2-for-6 in his first stint with the big club and will function as a backup first baseman and right-handed bat off the bench.
May 21 - 12:54 PM
Angel Pagan - OF - Giants

Angel Pagan went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Monday's 8-0 victory against the Nationals.

Pagan left Sunday's game with flu-like symptoms and was a game-time decision against Washington. He showed no ill-effects on the field, smacking an RBI double in the fifth against reliever Craig Stammen and adding a two-run single off Henry Rodriguez in the seventh. Despite the nice effort, Pagan is batting just .218/.279/.400 in May.
May 21 - 1:59 AM
Andres Torres - OF - Giants

Andres Torres went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's win against Washington.

Prior to the evening, Torres hadn't collected a hit since May 8. The 35-year-old backup outfielder is batting just .247/.282/.346 over 81 at-bats this season.
May 21 - 1:54 AM
Brandon Belt - 1B - Giants

Brandon Belt went 4-for-5 with his sixth home run of the season and four runs scored in Monday's 8-0 blowout of the Nationals.

Belt has reached base safely in 10 of his last 11 starts. Belt suffered through a forgettable April, batting .235/.287/.353, but his playing time and production have both spiked in May. Belt cut down his strikeouts and increased his rate of walks and his numbers reflect an improved approach at the plate. In May, he's slashing .250/.357/.521 with three homers over 48 at-bats.
May 21 - 1:51 AM
Ryan Vogelsong - S - Giants

Ryan Vogelsong was diagnosed with a fractured right hand.

Brutal news for Vogelsong, who tossed five scoreless frames Monday against the Nationals before he was hit in the hand with a pitch while swinging the bat. Vogelsong's wife, Nicole, wrote on Twitter that he has a dislocated joint in the pinky finger of his throwing hand and it's broken above and below his finger. He'll have surgery Tuesday and is expected to miss around six weeks. The Giants don't have an obvious alternative in the minors, so Chad Gaudin is the likely replacement in the starting rotation.

Ryan Vogelsong - S - Giants

Ryan Vogelsong left Monday's start against the Nationals after getting hit on the right hand by a pitch while swinging.

Vogelsong swung at a pitch in on his hands, and the ball appeared to catch him on the right knuckles. It was poor timing, as the righty was in the middle of his best start of the season, allowing three hits and a walk over five scoreless frames. The Giants should have an update on his status soon.

Barry Zito - S - Giants

Barry Zito allowed five runs on 11 hits over 5 2/3 innings in his start Sunday against the Rockies.

It was another bad outing from Zito, and he's now failed to win a game in his last five starts. He needed 108 pitches to get through the five-plus innings and continues to struggle on the road this season, where he has an 11.25 ERA. Zito will get a rematch with the Rockies in his next start on Saturday.
