Rotation improves, though SF Giants lose

San Francisco Chronicle — Rotation improves, though SF Giants lose The starters' rebound in a three-game series against the Nationals, which ended with Washington's 2-1, 10-inning victory Wednesday, was no guarantee that the problem is solved. [...] Ryan Vogelsong's injury adds a frightful dimension because the Giants have no obvious replacement. Both pitchers went seven innings, allowed four hits and a run, walked two and struck out five. The one pitch Bumgarner wanted back was the sixth-inning fastball that he left up to Bryce Harper. The Nats' 20-year-old outfielder, 0-for-8 in the series, hit it the other way...

CBSSports.com Fantasy — The Giants have begun to discuss replacements in the rotation for Ryan Vogelsong, who will miss 4-6 weeks after fracturing two bones and dislocating a joint in the pinkie finger on his right hand Monday.

Ryan Vogelsong suffers fractured hand

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong left Monday's start against the Nationals with a fractured right hand, MLB.com reports. Vogelsong was hit in the knuckles during an at-bat in the fifth inning.  Vogelsong, who will definitely miss some time and more than likely end up on the disabled list, was having his finest pitching performance of the season prior to the injury. The Giants were leading 6-0 at the time of this update and Vogelsong is on track to earn the win and improve to 2-4.  His next start is scheduled for Sunday against Colorado, but that is unlikely to happen.

  • Searching for Vogelsong's replacement
    Barry Zito was injured in 2011, you know. You'll read a lot of talk about how the Giants haven't had a hurt pitcher since Trevor Wilson went on the DL with a pulled dimple, but it wasn't that long ago that Zito missed significant time with a foot injury. Of course, his replacement stuck in the rotation, made the All-Star team, and won two games in the NLCS, so everything most certainly worked out for the best, but Zito was injured once upon a time. Maybe everything will work out that well again! Probably not. Still, the Giants have to find a replacement for Ryan Vogelsong, who broke hi...
