SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants' infield depth, already thin with both Brandon Belt and Pablo Sandoval sidelined with injuries, took another hit during Tuesday afternoon's game against the Astros, when second baseman Chase d'Arnaud exited in the fourth inning after fouling a ball off his left knee with the Giants leading, 1-0.
The foul, on an 0-1 offering by Houston's Dallas Keuchel, appeared to strike the 31-year-old just below his left kneecap. After being examined by the training staff, d'Arnaud appeared to be able to put weight on the leg and run on it, but he was removed from the game following a lengthy discussion.
