The shift from a 15- to 10-day disabled list under the latest collective-bargaining agreement has changed how teams approach relatively minor injuries. They can be more cautious by placing a guy on the DL without losing him for more than two weeks.
That was partly behind the Giants' decision to place Brandon Belt on the DL on Thursday after an MRI revealed a bone bruise in his right knee, which he injured running the bases in Seattle on Wednesday.
Manager Bruce Bochy said Belt will not do any physical activity for about five days.
