NL Notes: Worrell on DL with neck injury

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants placed right-handed reliever Tim Worrell on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday with a pinched nerve in his neck after he tried to recover with rest.

The injury is unique because it doesn't hurt Worrell when he pitches but rather the day after, trainer Stan Conte said. The move is retroactive to May 21.

The Giants recalled Brian Wilson from Triple-A Fresno to take Worrell's spot two days after activating Wilson from his rehabilitation assignment and optioning him to the minors.

Worrell, 38, who opened the season as the team's closer in place of injured Armando Benitez, is 2-1 with a 6.91 ERA and six saves in his second stint with San Francisco.

SHORT HOPS: Dodgers closer Eric Gagne threw 20 pitches off the regular mound at Dodger Stadium and proclaimed himself ready to begin a minor league rehab stint at Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday. ... Pirates OF Jody Gerut, out all season because of a sore right knee, was shifted to the major league 15-day disabled list in advance of possible surgery. ... The Reds activated OF Cody Ross from the 15-day DL and optioned RHP Mike Burns to Triple-A Louisville. The Reds acquired Ross from Los Angeles on April 24 for a player to be named later. ... Cubs 3B Aramis Ramirez, who hit his first career home run at Dolphin Stadium on Monday, now has homered in all 16 current National League parks. ... Nationals RF Jose Guillen returned to the lineup after missing five games with a strained right hamstring. He was in a 1-for-17 slump before his injury. ... Cuban defector Alay Soler, called up from Double-A Binghamton of the Eastern League, will make his first major league start today as the Mets continue to search for fourth and fifth starters.
