Correia on the DL, Misch In

Kevin Correia has been placed on the 15-day DL, with Bruce Bochy expecting the number five starter to be out at least a month, with a left intercostal strain. Correia managed nine pitches on Saturday, before having to exit the Giants 10-9 loss to the Reds.

"This really is a blow to the team because the starters have been doing so well," Bochy said. "I think Kevin has been throwing the ball well, so that's a pretty big hit."

Patrick Misch will take Correia's spot on the roster, and shined yesterday, pitching the final six innings, sparing an overworked bullpen.


It has been difficult to be a Giants fan these last several years - losing records, injuries, and bad contracts. We may be critical - but we stand by our team through good times and bad. The Giants remain one of the most storied franchises in the history of baseball and have a crop of new stars ready to add new pages to the Giants history books. Lincecum, Cain, Sanchez, Wilson and Sandoval are giving us reasons to be excited. Times may not always be stellar, but the Giants always give us something to talk about.
