Well, it happens every year, unfortunately, and it’s happened again: the San Francisco Giants have placed Brandon Belt on the 10-day Injured List, for discomfort and swelling in his knee.
The team announced the move before their Sunday series finale against the San Diego Padres. Taking Belt’s place on the roster is utility player Kevin Padlo, whom the Giants traded for about a month ago.
The #SFGiants made the following roster moves prior to today’s game:
• IF Kevin Padlo recalled from Triple-A Sacramento
• IF Brandon Belt placed on the 10-day IL— SFGiants (@SFGiants) May 22, 2022Belt hadn’t played since Wednesday, so the Giants could assign him to the IL retroactively and make him eligible to return this weekend.
