Rowand to the DL

After a Vicente Padilla fastball popped him in the face on Friday night, San Francisco Giants CF Aaron Rowand is headed to the Mark Prior List, according to Andrew Baggary (who?) on Twitter. Rowand suffered a mild concussion and fractured cheekbones and could require surgery.

“Aaron Rowand to DL. Out a minimum of 2 weeks. Might have surgery but would miss just one more week if that’s the case,” Baggary tweets.

Matt Downs will be recalled to take Rowand’s place. We don’t expect him back until sometime in May.
