The San Francisco Giants are gearing up for a four-day showdown with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and hoping that they’ll have better luck than they did over the weekend, when LA swept them in a three-game series at Oracle Park. But the Giants will be without one of their best hitters, as Brandon Belt has been placed on the 10-day Injured List.
Belt missed a good chunk of games last week while dealing with a side injury, but returned during the Dodgers series. He left Tuesday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks after re-aggravating the injury on a swing, and on Wednesday hit the IL with an oblique strain.
