Giants place Drew Smyly on injured list, call up former A's starter

A finger injury that took Drew Smyly out of a strong start Saturday night landed him on the injured list a few hours later.

The Giants officially put the left-hander on the 10-day injured list with a left index finger strain. Smyly, who had an MRI on Sunday morning, was replaced on the roster by right-hander Andrew Triggs.

Smyly has been Gabe Kapler's best starter thus far, and he struck out seven in his four innings of work Saturday against the Rangers. But as he faced the first batter of the fifth, Smyly started shaking his finger.
