Scott

Eyre

Eyre was hurt during Friday’s game.

Eyre turned out to be fine.

The Giants wouldn’t go into details, saying only that Eyre had lower back pain. “I don’t think we have a long-term problem,” trainer Stan Conte said. “How the short-term goes is dependent on the next few days.”

Eyre is on the DL, but could be ready to go in another couple weeks.

Eyre, on the DL with a back strain, could be activated soon, according to trainer Stan Conte.

Eyre has been troubled by the hamstring for nearly a week. He will be looked at by doctors on Wednesday and could be headed to the disabled list to create room on the roster for Wade Miller, who will likely start Wednesday’s game.

Someone had to be bumped from the roster after last night’s 18-inning game, and Eyre made the most sense, even though he probably won’t need 15 days to recover from his injury. Will Ohman will be the top lefty in the pen until Eyre returns.

Worrell was pulled after recording two outs, and Eyre retired the only batter he faced. Worrell will remain San Francisco’s primary closer while Robb Nen is out.

“The way it was left with Scott, he was going to decompress and either he or his agent was going to reach out to us,” Sabean said. Most of the large-market teams will be looking for left-handed relief help this winter, so the reliable Eyre might get a three-year deal worth $3 million or more per season.

As one of the most reliable relievers on the market, Eyre could command a three-year deal worth $8 million-$10 million.
