Your 2006 Giants: Injury (May Day) List

I thought it would be interesting to keep track of all the injuries and illnesses Giants players have had or been fighting this season or basically anything that made them unavailable for a game. I know, late start, so I'm probably going to miss something but here goes nothing (used USA Today's neat player notes system to get dates and info; good for fantasy news on players, though not as good, imo, as last year's), updated as of May 3, 2006:
  • Moises Alou: twinge in left hip caused him to pull up short (4/30 injury; 2 games missed)
  • Armando Benitez: inflamed left knee, bursa sac (3/15 injury reported; DL 4/1-4/19); flu 4/4.
  • Barry Bonds: ongoing problems with left knee and bone chips in left elbow since spring training
  • Ray Durham: plantar fascialitis (2/26-4/2; on-going?); strained left hamstring (4/23 injury; 4/28 DL, missed two games before DL)
  • Noah Lowry: strained right oblique (4/6 injury; DL 4/6 to now)
  • Lance Niekro: soreness in right foot (reported 4/16); bereavement (4/17-4/19); cold and flu (4/30-5/1; 2 games missed).
  • Mark Sweeney: tender right hamstring (reported 4/21)
  • Brian Wilson: strained right oblique (4/24 injury; DL 4/24-now)

I will try to keep this list updated during the season and available as a link on the side.
