PHOENIX -- Giants manager Bruce Bochy received surprising news prior to Thursday's series opener against the D-backs at Chase Field, and it provided a big blow to his club.
Bochy announced that Pablo Sandoval will undergo season-ending surgery on his right hamstring next week. It has not yet been decided who will perform the operation or where it will take place.
Sandoval sustained the injury during Sunday's game against the Padres when he slid awkwardly into home plate and then retreated to the dugout holding his leg.
