DENVER _ Giants left-hander Madison Bumgarner sustained a sprained left shoulder and bruised ribs after being involved a dirt bike accident on the team's day off in Colorado on Thursday, the club said.
The team put Bumgarner on the 10-day disabled list, but he is almost certain to be sidelined well beyond that _ and a struggling club at the bottom of the NL West standings will be forced to absorb a crippling blow at the top of their rotation.
Bumgarner was "out of the hospital" and resting at the team hotel in Denver, according to club officials. He was diagnosed with a Grade 1 or 2 sprain of the AC joint in his left shoulder.
