Pablo Sandoval

Pablo Sandoval made his return to the Giants on Saturday and batted cleanup. He finished 1-for-3 with a double to start the seventh inning.

It's just one game at this point, but Sandoval will get a chance to resurrect his career in San Francisco after a disastrous stint with Boston. He's not worth picking up, but adding him to your watch list wouldn't hurt.

The Boston Red Sox announced Friday that they have activated third baseman Pablo Sandoval from the disabled list and designated him for assignment.

Fantasy Impact

Sandoval has been a bust of epic proportions in Boston, failing to stay healthy or do much of anything on the field when he was able to play after being handed a five-year, $95 Million contract. He was not really fantasy relevant the last couple years due to his injuries and overall ineffectiveness, so this is more of a blow to the Boston Red Sox than anything else because of how poor of an investment Sandoval turned out to be.

Pablo Sandoval has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with the flu and an ear infection, according to Scott Lauber on Twitter. Infielders Deven Marrero and Sam Travis are being called up to take the places of Pablo Sandoval and reliever Austin Maddox, who is being optioned back to Triple-A.

Fantasy Impact

An incredibly disappointing season continues for Sandoval, who can't stay on the field and can't seem to produce when he does get on it. His poor defense at third base and .212 batting average had Sandoval playing only part time recently, and his sizable contract is probably the only reason he is even still on Boston's roster. He is not relevant for fantasy purposes right now, even in deeper leagues.

Pablo Sandoval is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports. Sandoval will retreat to the bench for a third straight contest as Josh Rutledge again draws the start at third base.

Fantasy Impact

Sandoval has really struggled at the plate since coming back from the disabled list on May 31. In that time frame, he is 5-for-27 with no homers or RBI and just one run scored. He doesn't hold any value in fantasy and should be dropped.

Pablo Sandoval (knee) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Tuesday, Tim Britton of The Providence Journal reports. As anticipated, Sandoval will rejoin the Red Sox in order to fill the infield void left by Dustin Pedroia's (wrist) injury.

Fantasy Impact

This is great news for Red Sox fans but fantasy owners need not get excited. Sandoval is no longer a must-own play in fantasy. He was hitting .213 with three homer runs before the injury. He may help some teams with third base depth in deeper leagues but his standard league days are behind him.
