The Giants are likely to place Aubrey Huff on the disabled list with a bruised knee he sustained when he tripped while trying to hop the dugout railing in celebration of Matt Cains perfect game. Giants manager Bruce Bochy had planned to use Huff often as his designated hitter on this three-city, nine-game trip to play AL opponents in Seattle, Anaheim and Oakland. Sources in Fresno say outfielder Justin Christian, who was hitting .364 with a .432 on-base percentage and a slew of extra-base hits for Triple-A Fresno, will replace Huff on the roster.
Huff did not make the trip to Seattle with the team.
Although no move has been announced, Christian was taken off the Grizzlies roster Thursday night.
