Lots of changes: Who is injured? Who is being brought up to play?

The Giants have been hit hard this season with many unexpected injuries wiping out key players. These players have moved to the disabled list and adjustments have had to be made on the Giants roster. Lets begin with who is injured and on the DL: Santiago Casilla (P) is out with an inflamed right elbow and may be back end of May; Mark DeRosa (3B) is out with a torn left wrist tendon and is yet to be determined when he will be back; Mike Fontenot (SS) is out with a strain to his left groin and is yet to be determined when he will be back; Darren Ford (CF) strained his left ankle and is yet to be determined when he will be back; Buster Posey (C) has a broken left fibula and torn ligaments in his ankle. Posey may have to have surgery and could quite possibly be out for the remainder of the season; Pablo Sandoval (3B) has a broken bone in his right hand and is expected to be back in June; Barry Zito (P) has a right mid-foot sprain and is expected to be back in June. Due to these injuries, the Giants have had to make quick adjustments and brought up three players: Brandon Belt (OF), Chris Stewart (C), and Brandon Crawford (SS). More information on these three to come! Best of luck to these boys!! Let it show that together we're GIANT!
