A frustrated Mark DeRosa called the offseason surgery on his left wrist a "total failure."
DeRosa underwent tests on Tuesday which revealed an aggravated nerve in the wrist. Of most concern to the Giants is the numbness in the ring and pinky fingers of DeRosa's left hand. "I feel like my bottom hand's underwater. I don't have much feeling in my bottom two fingers," said DeRosa. The 35-year-old utility man will remain out of the starting lineup for the next few days and hasn't ruled out another procedure if his condition fails to improve. "I'm not going to stink all year. ...I'm doing myself and the team a disservice." DeRosa, who was signed to a two-year, $12 million contract over the winter, is batting just .194/.279/.258 over his first 93 at-bats this season.
Tim Lincecum could be moved up to start against the Astros on Friday.
"We're talking about some things," said Giants manager Bruce Bochy. The potential move would allow Lincecum to pitch on regular rest, while Friday's scheduled starter Todd Wellemeyer would be pushed back one day to Saturday. Bochy indicated that he would likely finalize his pitching plans on Tuesday or Wednesday.
