San Francisco Giants outfielder Norichika Aoki was diagnosed as having a fracture in his right fibula on Tuesday, and has been placed on the 15-day disabled list.

Aoki suffered the injury on Saturday, when he was hit by a pitch to open a 6-2 road win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Aoki collapsed to the grass near home plate and was visibly hobbling as he rounded the bases to score the game's first run. He was removed from the when the Giants took the field in the home half of the first.

Aoki was originally diagnosed with a contusion and was set to start Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres but was a late scratch.
