Pablo Sandoval left Monday's game in the sixth inning with right elbow discomfort.

Pablo Sandoval went 2-for-4 with four RBI in the Giants' loss to the Brewers on Tuesday.

The loss was no fault of Sandoval's. The Panda now has 14 RBI on the year and is hitting .320 in 13 games. After a right elbow injury caused some consternation during spring, he seems to be healthy enough in the early going.

Pablo Sandoval is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Rockies.

It looks like he's just getting some rest with the day game after the night game. No reason to push it given his recent elbow issues. Joaquin Arias will make the start at third base.

Pablo Sandoval hit a two-run homer off the Dodgers' Josh Beckett in Wednesday's win.

Sandoval said Monday that his elbow is still bothering him when he hits left-handed, but that didn't stop him from collecting the homer against a righty tonight. He'll get a little break on Thursday with the Giants off.

Pablo Sandoval - 3B - Giants

Pablo Sandoval said that while his right elbow bothers him when hitting left-handed, it's not going to keep him out of the lineup.

"I'm still going to hit (left-handed)," Sandoval said. "I don't come out of the game." It remains to be seen whether Giants manager Bruce Bochy feels the same way and will start Sandoval Wednesday against righty Josh Beckett. Pablo starts Monday against lefty Clayton Kershaw and will be in there again Tuesday against southpaw Hyun-Jin Ryu.

Pablo Sandoval (elbow) is in the Giants' starting lineup for Monday's season-opener against the Dodgers.

Sandoval has been bothered for the past two weeks by elbow discomfort, but he took batting practice this weekend and felt fine. The Giants may give him some off days in the early going as a precautionary measure, but he remains an excellent fantasy option at third base.
