Giants recalled infielder Kevin Frandsen from Triple-A Fresno.
The Giants had no at-bats available for him before he was sent down April 12 and they still don't now. Maybe he'll have some fantasy value if Ray Durham gets hurt.
Giants placed RHP Russ Ortiz on the 15-game disabled list, retroactive to May 2, with elbow neuritis in his right arm.
Could it be Tim Lincecum time? There hasn't been any indication yet, but it'd be hard to pick anyone else to replace him in the rotation. If Lincecum comes up and pitches well, Ortiz shouldn't have a spot once he's ready to return.
