[h1]Giants' Rowand headed to DL on Sunday[/h1]
LOS ANGELES --
San Francisco Giants center fielder
Aaron Rowand will be placed on the 15-day disabled list with two small fractures in his left cheek and a mild concussion after he was hit with a fastball by Dodgers right-hander
Vicente Padilla.
Manager Bruce Bochy said after Saturday's 9-0 win against Los Angeles that Rowand will go on the DL Sunday.
Infielder
Matt Downs will be recalled from Triple-A Fresno to fill Rowand's roster spot.
Rowand was hit in the face in the fifth inning of Friday night's 10-8 loss, when the ball struck the side of his helmet as he turned to get out of the way. He never lost consciousness and was able to leave the field under his own power before he was taken to a hospital for a CT scan.
