The Giants activated left-hander Randy Johnson from the 60-day disabled list. The team placed Justin Miller on the 60-day disabled list because of his broken right elbow. Though Johnson has built his 22-year career as a starter, he has been compelled to leave the team with a strained throwing shoulder since July 5 and hasn't regained the arm strength.
Thus he is going to the bullpen, where he will complement Giants' primary left-handed reliever Jeremy Affeldt, and rookies Dan Runzler and Madison Bumgarner."His experience and presence will be nice to have down there," said Giants manager Bruce Bochy. Miller said that his arm had been bothering him for almost three weeks. Though he had showed up only twice since Aug. 26, rest didn't improve his poor body condition.
