Prepare yourselves for the committee of closers, Giants fans.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy grudgingly informed the media Saturday that All-Star closer Brian Wilson had an MRI Friday night that revealed "structural issues" in his throwing elbow (video below).
"He's likely looking at surgery," Bochy said.
Wilson will go for a second and likely third opinion. Head athletic trainer Dave Groeschner said he would probably see arm specialist Dr. James Andrews.
The extent of the damage was not revealed.
