Giants shake up bullpen, place Kontos on DL, demote Heston

The Giants call up Mike Broadway and Steven Okert from Triple-A

Kontos goes on the DL with a flexor tendon strain

Heston will return to a starting role at Triple-A Sacramento

SAN FRANCISCO -- Not three weeks into the season, the Giants’ bullpen already has a markedly different makeup than it did on opening day.

Before Tuesday night’s game against the Diamondbacks, the Giants promoted relievers Mike Broadway and Steven Okert from Triple-A Sacramento to replace Chris Heston, who was optioned to Sacramento, and George Kontos, who was placed on the disabled list with a strained flexor tendon in his right elbow.
