A couple of rotation injuries have opened the door for Chris Heston.
The 26-year-old right-hander was supposed to start Sacramento's season opener but instead will face the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday at Chase Field. Heston is starting in place of Matt Cain, who has a flexor tendon strain and is headed for the disabled list for the fifth time in the last three seasons. Cain is expected to miss at least two weeks. With Ryan Vogelsong starting in place of Jake Peavy (back tightness) on Tuesday and management wanting to keep Yusmeiro Petit in the bullpen, Heston gets his second career start.

First Peavy has to sit out due to injury, and now Matt Cain is right back on it. Vogelsong had to start tonight, and he's making the D'Backs look like the Bronx Bombers right now. With Pence still out also in the batting order, I see the Giants having some problems, at least at the start of the season.
