SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants<\/a>have placed right-handerKeaton Winn<\/a> on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow strain just days after he completed back-to-back-to-back outings.<\/p>\n

“Probably best for him to get a reset,” Giants manager Tony Vitello said Sunday. “I don’t think it’s anything too crazy. A handful of days down, at most. Then get back to throwing.”<\/p>\n

According to Vitello, Winn, 28, said he was available Monday against the Washington Nationals<\/a> after pitching in both weekend games against the Chicago Cubs<\/a> at Wrigley Field. Adding potential physical and mental stress to the situation was a 4 a.m. arrival by the Giants in San Francisco on Monday before Winn took the mound in the ninth inning with a 3-1 lead. He promptly gave up three runs, leading to a 4-3 Nationals win.<\/p>\n

Vitello was asked if, via hindsight, he would have done anything different knowing the outcome for Winn, who has a history of arm issues.<\/p>\n

“More than anything, I wish we would have done anything different to win the game,” Vitello answered. “Any time we have a guy that’s available to go, feels good to go … any time we get to the meeting where we talk about who is going to pitch and what scenarios, that’s what we talked about. If we get to the end of the game, that’s who we were going to use.”<\/p>\n

Vitello reiterated Winn said he was available to pitch, unlike other scenarios where he has told the team he needs a day.<\/p>\n

“I think part of is the nature of the split finger,” Vitello said of the injury. “He doesn’t feel like he’s bounced back the way he needs to in order to throw.”<\/p>\n

In Monday’s game, Vitello pulled starter Logan Webb<\/a> after eight innings and 99 pitches before the Giants blew it in the ninth. The manager was asked before Sunday’s game against the Cubs what might his strategy be in a similar situation this time around.”<\/p>\n

“It’ll be up to [Webb],” Vitello said. “See where he’s at.”<\/p>\n

Winn has a 3.23 ERA and one save in 29 games this season. The Giants recalled right-hander Tristan Beck<\/a> from Triple-A Sacramento to take Winn’s roster spot.<\/p>\n
