Christian up; Huff on DL

Perhaps the Perfect Game celebration was a bit too much for 1B/OF Aubrey Huff.

The Giants placed the veteran on the DL with a knee hurt during Wednesday's celebration of Matt Cain's flawless gem. It is retroactive to June 11, the day after the last time Huff played.

To take his place, the team purchased the contract of OF Justin Christian. This is Christian's second stint with San Francisco, having played with the team last September. He was designated for assignment during the off-season, but remained with the club.

The Giants have not announced their corresponding move on the 40-man roster to clear room for Christian. My guess is transferring one of the players on the 15-day DL since the beginning of the year (Surkamp, Runzler or Sanchez) to the 60-day DL.

For Fresno, C Tyler LaTorre magically remains with the team, even though the transaction wire on 6/14 listed him as going on the DL. Today, with the Christian promotion, that move disappeared from the record.
