SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco Giants are suddenly without their best hitter. Pablo Sandoval has a broken hamate bone in his left hand that will require surgery, and the free-swinging slugger is expected to miss four to six weeks -- the same injury he had last year on the other hand. "You just dont replace a bat like Pablo. This guy was on the All-Star team last year. There are very few guys in major league baseball who can do some things he can do with the bat," manager Bruce Bochy said. "Tough news for us with Pablo. I feel for him, particularly with the way hes been playing and swinging the bat. Its a tough loss, four to six weeks, but its right thing to do to get this thing taken care of. Well have to move forward and try to maintain where were at, and hopefully better, until he gets back. Weve just got to keep them believing." Conor Gillaspie was recalled from Triple-A Fresno to start at third base Thursday in the series finale with the Miami Marlins in place of Sandoval, placed on the 15-day disabled list. The 2010 World Series champions missed the playoffs last year in an injury-plagued season, and this is another tough blow when they hope to contend with the surprising Los Angeles Dodgers and defending division champion Arizona Diamondbacks. The switch-hitter broke his right hamate bone in late April last year and had surgery. It happened again to the other hand in recent days and he aggravated it swinging left-handed in Wednesdays 3-2, 10-inning loss to the Marlins and had to leave the game in the sixth inning. An X-ray Tuesday did not reveal the break, but Sandoval then underwent an MRI exam and CT scan that showed the fracture. He will undergo surgery Friday at Stanford, performed by Dr. Tim McAdams. "He doesnt remember doing it on one swing," Giants athletic trainer Dave Groeschner said. "He was hitting right-handed Sunday and the off day Monday, then Tuesday afterward he said it was sore. X-rays are tough on that area. Its not a good way to view it." The Giants top hitter and 2011 All-Star needed the full six weeks last year for his throwing hand to recover. The 25-year-old Sandoval is batting .316 with five home runs and 15 RBIs, and he opened the season with a 20-game hitting streak -- longest in franchise history to open a year. "We joked about that earlier, as soon as youre born take out the hamate bone, appendix, wisdom teeth, just get it done early," Bochy said. The Giants expect Aubrey Huff to come off the disabled list Monday after his battle with anxiety disorder. Huff has been working out and taking batting practice, while giving Bochy indications he is ready both physically and mentally to get back on the field. "Huff is available to come on Monday, which would be a shot in the arm for us," Bochy said. "But until then weve got to really pick it up and do a better job with runners in scoring position. ... (Huff) has been working hard getting ready for that day. He really believes that hes going to be ready for that day that he can come off. Hell give us some experience in the heart of the order, which I believe we really need." Gillaspie batted in the No. 2 hole and Bochy moved regular leadoff man Angel Pagan to fifth to give the struggling Giants offence a reliable bat in the middle of the order. "Conor has been swinging the ball well down in Fresno," Bochy said. cheap jerseys from china .

Italy forward Antonio Di Natale scored twice to help Udinese beat 10-man Inter Milan 3-0, and Fiorentina lost 2-0 to Pescara for its first home defeat of the season. Meanwhile, Edinson Cavani was on form and scored a hat trick as third-place Napoli beat Roma 4-1 in the late match. With 16 goals this season, the Uruguay forward moved two past Stephen El Shaarawy of AC Milan to top the league scoring chart. AC Milan also struggled before beating Siena 2-0 with two second-half goals. Juventus still leads with 44 points. Lazio, which beat Cagliari 2-1 Saturday, is next with 39 points, followed by Napoli -- which was penalized two points for match-fixing -- with 37 and Inter and Fiorentina with 35 each. Milan is seventh with 30 points. In other matches, it was: Parma 2, Palermo 1; Chievo Verona 1, Atalanta 0; and Genoa 2, Bologna 0. Juventus went all of last season unbeaten but has now lost four times this campaign -- and twice at home. Sebastian Giovinco gave Juventus the lead with a penalty in the 24th and it looked like it would be easy for the Turin power after Sampdoria defender Gaetano Berardi picked up his second yellow card in the 31st. But Mauro Icardi then scored twice for the visitors. In the 53rd, Icardi finished off a counterattack with a long, angled shot that goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon should have done a better job at stopping. In the 69th, Icardi scored again from a similar position, this time using a powerful rising shot that skimmed over Buffons outstretched hands. "Im upset because my mistake cost us three points," Buffon said. Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio bruised his right knee and could be out two to three weeks. "It wasnt a performance well want to remember," Juventus coach Antonio Conte said. "Were not Martians, and considering injuries and players not in great condition were going to have to grit our teeth some more." Juve had a chance to equalize but forward Mirko Vucinics shot in the 73rd hit the crossbar and then bounced down just in front of the goal. "Maybe Juve didnt have its best day," Genoa coach Delio Rossi acknowledged. "They didnt have their usual will to win." Rossi, who recently replaced Ciro Ferrara as Sampdorias coach, noted he was glad he didnt let Icardi go home to Argentina to play with his national under-20 squad. Icardi also scored a key goal against Genoa in a derby earlier this season. "Icardi is a kid with a lot of talent. I would have been stupid to send him to the South American tournament," Rossi said. "I think playing here is better exposure.&quuot; In Udine, Di Natale put the hosts ahead in the 63rd by finishing off a swift counterattack as Inters defence struggled to keep up.dddddddddddd Two minutes later, Inter defender Juan picked up his second yellow card, and Colombia forward Luis Muriel doubled the lead in the 75th with a similar score. Di Natale added another in the 79th from the centre of the area -- his 12th of the season -- as defenders Walter Samuel and Esteban Cambiasso again couldnt intervene. The referee made a key decision in the 25th by showing Inter striker Rodrigo Palacio a yellow card for diving inside the area, while Inter argued for a penalty and a last-man foul on defender Maurizio Domizzi, which would have left Udinese with 10 men. "To me it was a penalty," Inter manager Andrea Stramaccioni said. "There was contact." Di Natale hit the crossbar with a blistering 40-meter (yard) free kick in the 27th, and Inter defender Jonathan wasted a great chance created by Antonio Cassano when he hit the post in the 50th. Palacio also had a couple chances before Di Natales opening goal. Inter remained winless on the road since beating Juventus on Nov. 3, while Udinese has lost only once at home this season. In Florence, Fiorentina introduced newly signed forward Giuseppe Rossi to the crowd before the match. However, Rossi wont be able to play until February or March as he returns from multiple knee injuries, and it was evident that Fiorentina needs his goalscoring ability. Fiorentina dominated the first half but could not find the target through Luca Toni, Alberto Aquilani or Stevan Jovetic. Brazilian forward Jonathas scored with a header for Pescara in the 57th and Swedish forward Mervan Celik doubled the visitors lead in added time. In Naples, Cavani put the hosts ahead four minutes in after taking a through ball from Goran Pandev and shooting in off the arm of Roma goalkeeper Mauro Goicoechea. It was a similar start to the second half, with Cavani again hitting the target in the 48th from the centre of the area. Cavani struck again with a header following a corner in the 70th, Pablo Osvaldo pulled one back for Roma two minutes later, and Christian Maggio restored Napolis three-goal lead in the 90th. Roma ended with 10 men after Miralem Pjanic picked up his second yellow in the 74th. Earlier at the San Siro, Milan took the lead with a header from Bojan Krkic in the 67th following a cross from Kevin-Prince Boateng, who sparked Milans walkoff in the face of racist chants during a midweek friendly. Giampaolo Pazzini added a penalty for Milan in the 85th. Before kickoff, Milan wore anti-racism shirts. In Parma, Amauri scored the winner in the third minute of added time. Also, Adrian Stoian scored in the 37th for Chievo; and Marco Borriello scored both of Genoas goals. ' ' '
