UPDATE (Tues. at 12:30 pm): The corresponding roster move has been announced.


 

Giants manager Bruce Bochy told reporters in Pittsburgh that third baseman Matt Duffy is headed for the disabled list and will miss at least two weeks with a left Achilles strain.

Duffy, 25, went for an MRI Monday in Pittsburgh. He’s slashing .253/.313/.358 this season with four home runs and 21 RBI.

The Giants also had a scare with Buster Posey in the ninth inning of Monday’s 1-0 loss to the Pirates. He grabbed at his leg running up the first base line. San Francisco has already seen Hunter Pence, Angel Pagan and Matt Cain suffer hamstring injuries and that was the initial speculation with Posey, but the Giants’ catcher claims all is well.
