Brian Wilson (elbow) is likely to be placed on the disabled list, according to Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News.
Baggarly believes they'll make the move official on Sunday, when they need an extra bullpen arm behind spot starter Dan Runzler. The Giants are keeping the status of Wilson's inflamed right elbow a secret, so it's difficult to get an exact read on the situation. Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Wilson would continue to get treatment and stated "when we think he's ready to throw, he'll start throwing again." Wilson wouldn't be eligible to return until August 31 if he were to be placed on the DL. Jeremy Affeldt would likely receive save situations if Wilson were shelved.
