The Giants have placed closer Brian Wilson on the disabled list with an inflamed right elbow. Wilson hasn't pitched since August 15. "We put him on the DL so we did not have the urge to push him," manager Bruce Bochy said. "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." The move was made retroactive to August 16.
