Giants place Torres on DL, recall Belt

MIAMI -- The Giants placed outfielder Andres Torres on the 15-day disabled
list Saturday with a contusion in his lower right leg.
Brandon Belt was recalled from Triple-A Fresno to take Torres' spot on the
roster.
Torres, who batted leadoff and played center field Friday, went 0-for-3 with
three strikeouts in a 2-1 loss to the Marlins. On the season, the 33-year-old
is batting .228 with three homers and 18 RBIs.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that Torres fouled a ball off his calf during
the game and strained it.
"We're too shorthanded right now, so instead of waiting, we went ahead and
made the move and brought Brandon to help us out," Bochy said. "[Brandon]
gives us a left-handed bat. He'll help Aubrey [Huff] at first base and
occasionally some outfield, too."
The 23-year-old Belt was hitting .309 with eight homers and 32 RBIs in 49
games with the Grizzlies. The Giants' top prospect has spent time at first
base and the two corner outfield positions.
This marks the fourth time Belt, who was the Giants' Opening Day first
baseman, has been with San Francisco this season. In 31 games, he has a .218
average with two homers and seven RBIs. Two of his 20 starts this year have
come in left field.
"He's going to come up and help," Bochy said. "When you have a young player,
you want to get him in there as much as you can, but at the same time, you
have your veterans you still believe in. I will say I'll do all I can to get
his at-bats in there, because I think we need some help, and now it's going
to be up to Brandon to handle this well and get off some good at-bats."
