Sandoval (elbow) has not had any improvement with his elbow injury, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Bruce Bochy provided a discouraging update on Sandoval's recovery following Saturday's game, saying that the 33-year-old's injury is not improving as he deals with the right-elbow inflammation that has kept him sidelined since Aug. 11. A timetable for his return has not yet been determined, but it wouldn't be surprising if Sandoval were not ready to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible.

Sandoval is scheduled to meet with another doctor Friday night regarding his injured elbow, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sandoval has yet to see any improvement in his elbow since landing on the injured list Wednesday, so he'll meet with another doctor to discuss his options moving forward. A timetable for his return should be established once the next step in his recovery is revealed.

Sandoval (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

This was expected after an MRI revealed Sandoval is dealing with been chips in his right elbow. The veteran infielder received a cortisone shot over the weekend but has shown little improvement since. Sandoval is hoping to return down the stretch, though he remains without a concrete timetable for his return. In c corresponding move, Alex Dickerson (oblique) was activated from the IL.

Sandoval (elbow) will likely be placed on the 10-day injured list, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sandoval underwent an MRI over the weekend which revealed bone chips in his right elbow. The infielder received a cortisone shot Sunday, but it sounds like he's headed to the shelf after showing little improvement. According to John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle, Sandoval doesn't know if he'll be sidelined for 10 days or a month due to the issue, though he's hoping to return for the stretch run.

Sandoval is dealing with right elbow inflammation, though he'll be available to pinch hit Sunday night against the Phillies if needed, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Luckily, the Giants will benefit from an off day Monday, so Sandoval may be ready to rejoin the starting lineup for his team's series opener with the Athletics. He'll be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Sandoval went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Sandoval was held out of the starting lineup, but he was still able to make an impact in the box score after entering the game as part of a double switch in the seventh inning. The 33-year-old's run of regular playing time has gone by the wayside following the activation of Evan Longoria from the injured list Sunday. That said, the Panda has been outperforming Longoria offensively this season (.271/.316/.515 compared to .239/.314/.439), so if the latter is unable to pick things up at the plate in the coming weeks, then a timeshare at the hot corner could develop as the Giants try to cling on to their playoff hopes.

Sandoval is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

With Evan Longoria (foot) returning from the 10-day injured list and immediately reclaiming the starting job at third base, Sandoval is expected to settle back into a full-time reserve role moving forward, serving as a backup at both corner-infield spots. During his three-week run as a lineup regular, Sandoval slashed .261/.320/.449 with three home runs, seven RBI and 10 runs in 18 games.

Sandoval isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sandoval is in line for a day off after collecting base knocks in each of his last three contests. Zach Green will start at the hot corner and hit eighth in Sandoval's absence.

Sandoval's regular playing time just increased after manager Bruce Bochy said that Evan Longoria (foot) is still 10-to-14 days away from returning to action, Ken Crowley of the Bay Area News Group reports.

EDGE Analysis

Longoria was initially expected to return on the team's upcoming road trip, but the new timetable opens up some more playing time for Sandoval. The Panda went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 5-1 loss to San Diego, and he is slashing .240/.283/.420 with two homers in the 12 games since taking over for Longoria.

Sandoval went 2-for-2 with a go-ahead home run and a double in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Sandoval pinch-hit for Zach Green in the ninth inning and stayed in as a defensive replacement, but his biggest contribution was a solo shot off Padres reliever Logan Allen in the 11th inning. It's Panda's 13th homer of the season to go with 37 RBI and 39 runs scored in 95 games this year. The third baseman is hitting only .212 in 66 at-bats in July, as he's cooled off while the Giants have come alive as a team.
