Giants place third baseman on 10-day injured list with abdominal strain

The team made the move before its game against the Arizona Diamondbacks and recalled an infielder from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding roster transaction. The abdominal injury forced the player to leave Tuesday's 8-2 loss to Arizona in the sixth inning.

He had charged a ground ball, thrown out a runner, and then walked back to the dugout in pain. After the game the player said the abdominal area had bothered him for several weeks. He described the discomfort as "hot and cold" and noted that a bare-handed play during Tuesday's contest produced the first sharp pain that caused him to leave the field.

235 this season with seven home runs and 42 runs batted in.
