http://0rz.tw/gnYtD Giants delay DL decision on Beltran By Christina De Nicola / MLB.com | 08/14/11 5:38 PM ET MIAMI -- With Carlos Beltran's name out of the starting lineup on Sunday for the sixth straight game, a decision on whether to put the Giants outfielder on the disabled list was pushed back another day. Beltran, who was acquired at the non-waiver Trade Deadline and was batting .244 with a double, two triples and two RBIs in 11 games, left last Sunday's game early when his right hand began to bother him in his final at-bat. "I would say it's been a little discouraging, the fact he hasn't come around a little faster than what's happening," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Beltran's progress. "But the hand is a tough place to have an injury. You use it all the time, and it's so vital swinging the bat. "It has to be close to 100 percent before you're able to swing a bat, so we were hoping he would be on the field right now, but we also knew this was a possibility, and it could take a while." After getting treatment on Sunday, Beltran was once again scheduled to take swings off a tee in the batting cages. A decision on placing Beltran on the 15-day DL will come down to a meeting between Bochy and general manager Brian Sabean. Before Sunday's game, Bochy mentioned how the club would be able to fly somebody in from the Minors in time for the series opener against the Braves on Monday night. "We're going to come up with a game plan on what we're going to do with Carlos, and if there is a move there, who would be involved in that," Bochy said. Following the Giants' 5-2 victory, Bochy spoke with head athletic trainer Dave Groeschner, and things changed. "Gonna check on him tomorrow, gonna hang in there right now instead of making a decision on what we're going to do," Bochy said. "I feel like it's coming around, so if I felt short [on players], and it was hurting us, then we'd have to make the move, but right now we've been all right." 找來了Beltran只出賽了11場 現在已經一周沒出賽了 最近還可能要將他放進傷兵名單 把他交易過來還真是浪費 = = Wilson shakes off rust after time off MIAMI -- Before recording his 35th save of the season Saturday night with a scoreless ninth inning against the Marlins, Giants closer Brian Wilson hadn't pitched since last Sunday. In the series-ending victory over the Phillies, Wilson earned the save after an inning of work. With five days between outings, Wilson wasn't concerned about the time off. "This is my sixth season of pro ball," Wilson said before Saturday's game. "At first, it would be tough, and then of course you would think about excuses if you hadn't pitched in eight days and go out and get an inning and you give up two runs. "You make excuses that, 'Oh, it's 'cause I haven't been pitching,' but just go out there, compete and get your three outs and hold yourself accountable." Wilson, whose 162 saves over the past four seasons are the most in the big leagues, believes that mental toughness -- among other factors such as the strike zone and crowd intensity -- is important. His 35 saves in 39 chances this season are second in the Majors, one behind the Braves' Craig Kimbrel. "It can come with experience or it can come with what type of man you are," Wilson said. "For me, I don't think that I necessarily need consistent innings to stay sharp. It's an inning that calls for a lot of mental toughness, so if I'm mentally prepared for the inning, then I feel my skill-set should take over from there." Ross enjoys return trip to South Florida MIAMI -- Outfielder Cody Ross made his return to South Florida this weekend for the first time since last August, when the Giants acquired him from the Marlins. In his second at-bat against Chris Volstad on Sunday, Ross hit a two-run homer to left field. The 30-year-old spent five seasons with Florida, hitting .265 with 80 home runs and 297 RBIs in 573 games. Ross, who was one of the fan favorites, would also hear the "Cody! Cody! Cody!" chant at Sun Life Stadium. "I felt like when I played here, I played with a lot of heart, a lot of grit and kind of the way fans want to see players play," Ross said. On Aug. 22, 2010, the Giants claimed Ross off waivers. In 33 games with San Francisco, he hit .288 with three homers and seven RBIs. More importantly, however, was his performance during the National League Championship Series against the Phillies, which earned him MVP honors. Ross blasted the Giants' first three homers and hit .350 over six games. His .950 slugging percentage was the highest in NLCS history. "It seemed like so long ago, but it's almost been a year now," Ross said. "It seemed like eternity, but I always said I was gracious for the opportunity the Marlins gave me. I was a little upset when I was let go, but it ended up being for the better. And obviously what happened with us winning the World Series and stuff couldn't have been a better situation for me." During batting practice, Ross was signing autographs for fans. Former teammates that he still keeps in touch with, like pitchers Clay Hensley and Anibal Sanchez, gave him hugs. "It feels good to be back," Ross said. Worth noting 1. Sunday's game was the last for the Giants at Sun Life Stadium. The Marlins will move into their new ballpark next season. San Francisco lost to Florida in both the 1997 and 2003 playoffs at the multi-purpose facility. 2. Relievers Sergio Romo and Brian Wilson were both dealing with minor injuries Sunday before the series finale against the Marlins. "[Sergio's] fine," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "I'm a little concerned with Wil's back. It's flared up a bit here, so we'll check on him during the game, and I'll know exactly where I'm at. We think they're both going to be just fine. "Sergio just starting to feel a little something in [his right arm], but not to the point where we're overly concerned, believe me." 這兩位大鬍哥應該都無大礙吧!! 3. Barry Zito exited Saturday night's rehab start with Triple-A Fresno early after a right ankle injury. X-rays turned out negative. "I saw a picture of the ankle, and it's pretty bad," Bochy said. "It's going to be a while. It's really swollen. It looks like there's a baseball on there, so this looks like it's going to be quite a while."
