Padres' Brian Giles Goes On 15-Day DL, Recall McAnulty From Triple-A

Padres right fielder Brian Giles went on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday with an annoying bone bruise in his right knee.

To take his place on the roster, the Padres recalled infielder-outfielder Paul McAnulty from Triple-A Portland.

Giles missed five straight starts before the Padres decided to sit him down. The move was retroactive to last Sunday. Giles said he originally hurt his knee when he ran into a door in the outfield wall at Wrigley Field in mid-April, and tweaked it several days later chasing a fly ball at Colorado.

MLB To Send Delegation To China

Baseball will send a high-level delegation to China this month to inspect stadiums ahead of a possible trip there for exhibition games next year.

Bob DuPuy, baseball's chief operating officer, will head the group, which also will include Padres chief executive officer Sandy Alderson, Red Sox president Larry Lucchino and Pirates CEO Kevin McClatchy. "It's the proverbial fact-finding trip," Lucchino said. "The Red Sox are in favor of international play and have been for a long time."

Baseball has discussed the possibility of playing exhibition games in China next March. DuPuy said it also is possible those games could be tied to opening the regular season in Tokyo.
