Yesterday, Mark DeRosa re-injured his wrist as he was cocking his bat for a pitch from Clayton Kershaw. Although he’s day-to-day manager Bruce Bochy said “It looks like he’s going to be out for a while.” (Via Chris Haft of MLB.com).

With Pablo Sandoval also on the Disabled List, the Giants will probably use Miguel Tejada at third base and Mike Fontenot at shortstop until late June, when Sandoval is ready to come off the DL.

Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle, believes the Giants could play Aubrey Huff at third base and recall Brandon Belt to play first. According to Schulman, the idea supposedly came up as a way to ignite the offense, and with DeRosa’s injury this idea could “gain more traction” he says.

Huff has started 344 Major League games at third base, more recently in 2008 when he was playing with the Orioles, and apparently he’s open to the idea.

“The fielding part is easy,” he said. “It’s the throwing. I’ve got to get used to throwing again, because I don’t throw at first base. I went to the outfield last year. I made a lot of throws and my arm was getting a little ‘eeeech.’ Once I get the arm going, that’s the thing.”
