LOS ANGELES — Pablo Sandoval required four stitches after maintaining a laceration on his right pinkie Monday night. However, the Giants are assured the veteran infielder could be able to avoid the injured list. Sandoval suffered the injury after being spiked with the aid of Max Muncy within the fifth inning of the Giants’ 3-2 win. Muncy inadvertently stepped on Sandoval’s hand while crossing the bag. The play proved to be one of the defensive highlights of the night.
Shortstop Brandon Crawford needed to range to his left to field the grounder earlier than spinning and throwing to Sandoval, who made an excellent stretch at the start base to file the out. Sandoval, who became compelled to exit the sport the following inning, initially feared the damage would be extra intense, but X-rays revealed no structural damage to his hand. I felt it became going to be worse,” Sandoval stated. “I concept it can be a break or dislocation. I try to make plays to help the group, but I can’t. I’ll sacrifice and do the entirety available to make that play. It became worth it.
A transfer-hitter, Sandoval said he thinks the damage will affect him more swinging proper-surpassed than left-handed. He would not play the next two days, as the Dodgers had been scheduled to start a couple of lefties in Clayton Kershaw and Rich Hill. His pinkie is wrapped up, but he says he will move in and try a few swings. Right now, we’re simply putting him daily. I think we got a smash with nothing structurally damaged in there. He’s doing quite properly,” supervisor Bruce Bochy stated Tuesday.
