Panda departs with tight left quad muscle
Giants infielder removed as precaution, expects to play Tuesday
By Adam Berry / MLB.com | 06/26/11 11:42 PM ET
SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval left Sunday's 3-1 win
over the Indians after the sixth inning due to a tight left quad muscle, but
he didn't expect it to keep him from playing at least one of San Francisco's
two games Tuesday in Chicago.
Sandoval lined a double to center field -- his first extra-base hit since
returning from a fractured hamate bone on June 14 -- to lead off the fifth.
He moved to third when Aubrey Huff grounded out to second base, but he came
up noticeably limping.
He manned third base in the sixth inning but was replaced the following frame
by Miguel Tejada.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said the decision to pull Sandoval was strictly a
case of being extra cautious, and he could have kept playing, if necessary.
"I'm going to be good," Sandoval said. "I don't want to go on the DL again. I
just want to make sure I can be ready for Tuesday."
Bochy said he didn't know for sure if Sandoval would be ready to play in both
parts of the Giants' doubleheader against the Cubs, but by avoiding
aggravating the injury Sunday night and having Monday off, Sandoval should be
good to go for at least one of the games.
The Giants have already suffered a number of injuries this season --
including Sandoval, who was out for more than a month -- and don't feature a
great deal of infield depth. Utility man Mike Fontenot is set to begin
another rehab assignment on Monday, while third baseman Mark DeRosa has been
out since May 18 with a strained ECU tendon in his wrist.
Sandoval was at his locker after Jeremy Affeldt closed out Sunday's victory,
excited about the Giants' sweep of the Indians and about his first multi-hit
game since April 26. And he was particularly giddy about his double, smiling
widely before his one-word reply about how it felt to record his first
extra-base hit in two months.
"Happy," he said.
