The Giants have placed outfielder Aaron Rowand on the disabled list with broken bones in his face.

He was hit in the face with a pitch from Los Angeles hurler Vicente Padilla. He suffered two small fractures to his cheekbone and a mild concussion.

Rowand could have surgery to insert a plate to provide protection and speed healing, manager Bruce Bochy said.
