The Chronicle's John Shea surmises that the Giants roster will increase by six when the September expansion starts Saturday: activating 1B/OF Aubrey Huff, P Brad Penny and P Shane Loux from the DL; recalling 1B/OF Brett Pill and purchaing the contracts of OF Xavier Nady and P Jean Machi from Fresno.
In order to clear room for Nady and Machi, two moves on the 40-man need to be made. Shea reports that the team transferred 2B Freddy Sanchez to the 60-day DL (exempting him from the 40-man).
My last guess for the 40th spot (if the team does not plan to designate for assignment anyone): recall OF Roger Kieschnick and place him on the 60-day DL. He has been out with a shoulder injury since May. He has been rehabbing the last week in the Arizona Rooke League, going 1-for-12 in three games.
