Giants activated 303-game
12-09-11

AN FRANCISCO -- The Big Unit is back, albeit as a reliever. Premier Carson Palmer Jersey. The San Francisco Giants activated 303-game winner Randy Johnson from the 60-day disabled list after Tuesday nights 10-2 victory over Colorado and plan to use him out of the bullpen. "Well have to give him time, we know it," manager Bruce Bochy said. "Right now itll be short, two or three innings. Hopefully we can gradually build this up." The 46-year-old Johnson threw 53 pitches, including warmups, in a simulated game on Monday. He joined the Giants this year for his 22nd major league season to try to help the team reach the playoffs after a five-year absence. San Francisco pulled within 2 1/2 games of the Rockies in the National League wild-card race with Tuesdays win. "We missed him the last couple months," Barry Zito said after pitching the Giants to victory. "Thats a golden bullet for us. Were excited. ... Energetically, hes great to have around." The five-time Cy Young Award winner injured his left shoulder more than two months ago. Johnson last pitched July 5, when he came out of a game against Houston because of a left shoulder strain, an injury that was later called a torn rotator cuff. Johnson, who has 4,869 strikeouts, is 8-6 with an earned-run average of 4.81 in 17 starts for San Francisco. In June, he became the 24th player in major league history to reach 300 wins. "Youre happy hes going to be back on the mound," lefty starter Jonathan Sanchez said. "He said he cant be in the rotation but hes another person to help and I know he can get two or three quality innings. We need him." The Giants cleared roster room by placing right-handed reliever Justin Miller on the 60-day DL with inflammation in his throwing elbow, ending his season. Miller, emotional and discouraged, said his elbow injury was a problem for him last year while with Florida. Its bothered him more in the last three weeks. "Its something I tried to pitch through," said Miller, who went 3-3 with a 3.18 ERA in 44 outings this season. "Its tough. Its disappointing. Ill root these guys on. For me, it was the last thing I wanted to hear." Ben Roethlisberger Jersey. Mario Chalmers added 16 points and six assists for the Heat, who have won four in a row. Udonis Haslem tied a season-high with 14 rebounds and Shawn Marion hauled in 10 boards for Miami, which surpassed last seasons win total with its 16th triumph. Green Bay Packers Matthews Jersey. Owens spent most of last season on the Alouettes practice roster, dressing for one game against Toronto where he accumulated 100 all-purpose yards. Prior to that, the University of Hawaii standout who tied an NCAA record with 8 return touchdowns and set an NCAA record in 2004 with five punt return touchdowns, spent time with the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Colorado Crush (AFL). Baltimore Ravens Anquan Boldin Jersey. The 26-year-old Spaniard announced his return to the French team Monday after a turbulent season at McLaren.
