Thumb injury puts Tomlinson on disabled list

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants made several roster moves Friday, placing Kelby Tomlinson on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained left thumb and calling up infielder Ramiro Pena, while also transferring reliever Sergio Romo to the 60-day DL.

Tomlinson injured his thumb Wednesday against the Red Sox on a diving play in the seventh inning. News of the injury caught both Tomlinson -- who finished the game and even completed a postgame workout -- and the team off guard.

"He woke up [the next morning] and it was killing him," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
