The San Francisco Giants placed closer Brian Wilson, who hasn't pitched since Aug. 15, on the 15-day disabled list Sunday with an inflamed right elbow. The move was made retroactive to Tuesday, Aug. 16. "We put him on the DL so we did not have the urge to push him," manager Bruce Bochy said, according to the San Jose Mercury News. "Or to have Willie go out there when he's not right. He wanted to try to get through it. Long term, it's the best thing for his career." Giants trainer Dave Groeschner told the Mercury News that the team hopes to have a timetable for Wilson's return by Tuesday. "We definitely expect him to come back, but not until we're sure he's feeling good," Groeschner told the newspaper. "He wants to pitch. That's awesome. But we've got to make sure he's feeling good."
