Giants' Matt Cain: Placed on DL
Cain (hamstring) was placed on the DL on Saturday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis:
Cain was forced out of his last start Friday in the second inning after experiencing pain in his right hamstring. It's since been diagnosed as a strain, and Cain will miss at least the minimum 15 days. Chris Stratton has been recalled from Triple-A Sacramento, and he'll presumably fill Cain's spot in the rotation, temporarily.
