Pablo Sandoval left Monday's game against the Braves in the first inning with an apparent injury to his right foot.
Sandoval fouled a ball off his foot during his at-bat in the top of the first inning. He was able to finish the at-bat, eventually reaching base on a fielding error, but was replaced by Mike Fontenot at the hot corner to begin the bottom of the first. Stay tuned for an update.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Monday that Carlos Beltran (wrist) is doubtful for all four games against the Braves this week.
The Giants are still in a "holding pattern" with Beltran, but hope to see some improvement by Tuesday. If not, they could finally place him on the disabled list. Because he could be placed on the DL retroactively, he would be eligible to rejoin the Giants early next week. Nate Schierholtz and Brandon Belt should continue to see regular playing time during his absence.
