Posey underwent an MRI on his injured thumb Monday, which revealed a bone bruise and inflammation, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Analysis:

It doesn't sound like Posey will require a disabled list trip, as the Giants are hoping a couple of days of treatment will fix everything up. The injury has been bothering Posey for more than a week, and with the Giants going nowhere this season, there's no reason for him not to rest it as long as he needs to. Still, don't expect him to miss more than two or three games, barring an aggravation of the injury.
