The Giants' third baseman said he is unsure when he hurt his foot, per Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle. San Francisco is in St. Louis for a weekend series against the Cardinals in a rematch of the 2012 National League Championship Series, followed by an off day Monday before returning home.
Sandoval has hit .288/.328/.434 with eight home runs and 37 RBI in 2013, and had played in 53 of San Francisco's first 54 games, including 52 starts. Sandoval hit a walk-off, two-run home run on May 21 to beat the Nationals, but since those heroics was in a 5-for-30 (.167) slump.
