Vogelsong still a candidate to join rotation

SAN FRANCISCO -- Manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday that he's still leaning
toward adding right-hander Ryan Vogelsong to the starting rotation during the
Giants' upcoming three-game series at Pittsburgh, which begins Tuesday.
Bochy noted that Monday's scheduled off-day would allow the Giants to stick
temporarily with the four-man contingent they used this week following Barry
Zito's right foot injury, since each starter still would receive four days'
rest. The Giants wouldn't need a fifth starter until April 30 at Washington.
But Bochy indicated that if the Giants can avoid using Vogelsong excessively
in relief, as they did Friday when he pitched 3 1/3 shutout innings, they'll
resume using a five-man rotation sooner than later.
"We'd like to give guys an extra day [of rest]," Bochy said.
Vogelsong, a non-roster invitee to Spring Training, has allowed three hits
without walking a batter in 4 2/3 shutout innings spanning two appearances.
Torres, Casilla headed for rehab in Arizona
SAN FRANCISCO -- Manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday that outfielder Andres
Torres and right-hander Santiago Casilla will intensify rehabilitation of
their respective injuries at the Giants' training complex in Scottsdale,
Ariz., while the team is on its upcoming three-city, 10-game trip.
This plan eliminates any possibility that Torres, the Giants' Opening Day
center fielder and leadoff hitter who's nursing a strained left Achiiles
tendon, will be activated from the 15-day disabled list when he's eligible
next Monday.
"I think he's still a little ways away," Bochy said of Torres, who has
resumed hitting and light running.
Casilla threw 20 fastballs in the bullpen Friday, marking the first time he
had thrown off a mound since he went on the disabled list April 6 with an
inflamed throwing elbow.
Bochy said that both Torres and Casilla might participate in extended spring
training games during their Arizona stint.
