Giants' pitcher Lincecum placed on bereavement list

MIAMI -- Right-handed pitcher Tim Lincecum was placed on the
bereavement list Friday by the San Francisco Giants before their
game against the Florida Marlins, clearing the way for infielder
Rich Aurilia to return from the 15-day disabled list.

Aurilia, sidelined Aug. 2 by a strained right hamstring, started
Friday's game at second base.

A member of Lincecum's family was ill, but the team hoped he
would be able to return for his next scheduled start Tuesday
against the Chicago Cubs.

Lincecum (7-3) has a 3.95 ERA in 19 starts. On Thursday, he gave
up three runs in five innings to help beat Atlanta 9-3.
