 Lincecum was roughed up in his start Saturday against Washington,
lasting just 2 2/3 innings while giving up six runs, four of them
earned. The righty has not gone more than six innings in any of his
last six starts, and has an ERA of 7.94 in August.
And that is why Giants manager Bruce Bochy is considering taking
Lincecum out of the rotation, although he is still debating the
topic.
"We haven't made any determinations," Bochy said. "I have not had a
chance to talk to Timmy. Until I talk to the player, I don't like to
make any announcements."

---The Cleveland Indians selected the contract of catcher Chris
Gimenez from Triple-A Columbus.

assignment Monday in the rookie-level Gulf Coast League.

Rancho Cucamonga to make room.
---Detroit Tigers right-hander Anibal Sanchez, on the 15-day
disabled list since Aug. 9 with a strain in his right pectoral,
could return as soon as Saturday in a doubleheader against Chicago.
The right-hander is scheduled to throw Monday and off a mound two
days later if all goes well.

repair the medial patellofemoral ligament in his right knee.

knee, which cost him the first 24 games of this season and the tail end
of last season.
---The Toronto Blue Jays returned right-hander Kyle Drabek on option to
Triple-A Buffalo. The move made room for right-hander Sergio Santos, who
was recalled from Buffalo.
---The Oakland A's placed left-hander Sean Doolittle on the 15-day
disabled list due to a strained right intercostal muscle. Doolittle was
injured while throwing his second-to-last pitch in the ninth inning
Saturday night en route to his 20th save.
Oakland recalled right-hander Dan Otero from Triple-A Sacramento.
