Player Notes

May 27, 2008
Kevin Frandsen, who is likely out for the year with an injured left Achilles tendon, has begun walking under controlled conditions, according to MLB.com. "It's tight, but it feels great," he said.

May 15, 2008
Kevin Frandsen has been transferred to the 60-day DL, according to the AP. Frandsen is out for the season recovering from surgery on his ruptured Achilles tendon.

March 30, 2008
Kevin Frandsen was placed on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 21, on Sunday. Frandsen struggled early on this spring, and thereafter he suffered torn left Achilles' tendon. Frandsen will not play again this season.

March 24, 2008
Kevin Frandsen might miss the entire season after further injuring his Achilles tendon, possibly rupturing it, this according to the AP. So much for Frandsen being involved heavily this year. With all the injuries on the Giants infield right now, Eugenio Velez appears to have fallen into a starting role with the team. Considering the fact he is raw the road could be bumpy, but Velez has a lot of speed, is hitting the heck out of the ball in spring, and certainly makes an attractive free agent pick up at this point.

March 21, 2008
Manager Bruce Bochy admitted that Kevin Frandsen could be DL-bound to start the year because of a sore Achilles tendon, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. He was in line for plenty of playing time at third, short and second, so this is a bad time for him to get hurt. Eugenio Velez could see more action as a result.

March 14, 2008
Kevin Frandsen has been slowed recently by a sore Achilles tendon and was plunked on the helmet by a pitch Thursday, forcing him to exit the game, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Manager Bruce Bochy said Frandsen could have stayed in the game. Frandsen already has been replaced at shortstop by Brian Bocock this spring, and any chance he had to bump Ray Durham off second is gone; Durham is hitting .387 in exhibition action, while Frandsen is hitting just .226.

March 6, 2008
CBS Sportsline is reporting that the Giants Kevin Frandsen is out as the San Francisco shortstop. The 25-year-old infielder was replaced by non-invitee Brian Bocock. The team continues to look for a replacement for Omar Vizquel. Frandsen started at second base against Kansas City on Wednesday. A day later, he was at third base when the Giants played the Angels. Frandsen came into spring training expecting to compete with Ray Durham for the starting job at second base but was moved to shortstop when Vizquel had surgery to remove a torn medial meniscus on Feb. 27. Vizquel is expected to return sometime in mid-to-late April. Bocock, 23, hasn't played above Class A during two years in the Giants' minor league system.

January 24, 2008
If the Giants don't end up acquiring a third baseman, Kevin Frandsen looks to be the obvious choice to start at the hot corner, according to the Mercury News. Frandsen hasn't played third since college and could be the team's second baseman of the future. There had been rumblings that he could battle Ray Durham for the starting job at second.
