Brian WIlson Shutdown

According to Matt Snyder of CBS Sports, San Francisco Giant's Closer Brian Wilson was shut down during his latest throwing session due to "recurring soreness" in his injured left oblique muscle. The Giants are telling Brian Wilson they don't want him pitching in the opener versus the Dodgers. The Giants will apparently use Jeremy Affeldt or Santiago Casilla to close out games until Wilson returns. Oblique muscles can be tricky. Wilson could twist wrong once and be out for a month. The Giants are doing the right thing by shutting him down. I wouldn't be suprised if they keep him out the first couple of weeks just to be safe. Don't let the injury change your mind during the draft. He's still a top 3 closer even with the injury.
