The Giants placed Rich Aurilia on the 15-day disabled list Saturday night with a strained right hamstring that he hurt three nights earlier at Dodger Stadium. The club waited until minutes before the first pitch of its game against the Padres to announce the move, which is retroactive to Thursday. GM Brian Sabean said he was still evaluating options and needed to see how Aurilia came out of his pregame on-field work. A couple of hours earlier, Aurilia had said he was "getting better every day."
