Giants place Posey on 7-day concussion DL
The Giants placed Buster Posey on the 7-day disabled list with concussion symptoms Tuesday, a day after Posey was beaned in the head by a 94 mile per hour fastball.
Catcher Nick Hundley is expected to start in place of Posey against Arizona on Tuesday night. Tim Federowicz will be the team’s backup catcher after the Giants called him up from Triple-A Sacramento. Right-hander Clayton Blackburn was designated for assignment to make room for Federowicz.
