Giants put ace Matt Cain on disabled list The San Francisco Giants placed right-hander Matt Cain on the 15-day disabled list Friday, one day after the staff ace was hit on the pitching arm by a line drive off the bat of Pittsburgh's Gaby Sanchez. Cain left in the fourth inning of a 10-5 loss to the Pirates on Thursday. X-rays were negative and he was diagnosed with a bruised forearm. Washington traded catcher Kurt Suzuki to Oakland for minor league pitcher Dakota Bacus. Atlanta right-hander Brandon Beachy, who has made five starts since returning from elbow ligament replacement surgery, was put on the 15-day disabled list because of right elbow inflammation. St. Louis put right-hander Jake Westbrook on the DL because of a lower back strain. Daisuke Matsuzaka made his first major league start since last year, losing his debut with the Mets, 6-1 to Detroit. He lasted five innings and gave up five runs and six hits, including home runs by Miguel Cabrera and Torii Hunter. All-Star catcher Joe Mauer, who is on Minnesota's seven-day concussion DL, was given permission by a concussion specialist to begin a light exercise program. Texas sent minor league right-hander Neil Ramirez to the Cubs in a waiver deal to complete the trade that brought right-hander Matt Garza to the Rangers last month.
