San Francisco Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval is expected to miss four to six weeks after breaking a bone in his right wrist.
Sandoval, 24, underwent a MRI exam on Saturday morning which revealed the broken bone in his throwing hand. San Francisco is expected to call up Ryan Rohlinger from Triple-A Fresno when Sandoval is placed on the disabled list.
Sandoval is batting .313 with five home runs and 14 RBIs this season for the defending World Series Champions.
The Giants have struggled in their title defense, including losing six of their last eight games. San Francisco is currently 12-13 and 4 1/2 games behind division-leader Colorado.
Shortstop Miguel Tejada started at third base for the Giants in Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals. Mike Fontenot started at shortstop.
