Bochy said last week Sanchez would bat in the No. 2 hole behind leadoff man Aaron Rowand. San Francisco will now likely use Juan Uribe at second during Sanchez's absence.
Earlier this month, the Giants and Uribe finalized a $3.25 million, one-year contract. Uribe was a non-roster invitee to spring training last year but emerged as one of the team's most steady players down the stretch. He began the 2009 campaign as a backup but wound up playing in 122 games at third, shortstop and second for San Francisco. He batted .289 with 16 homers and 55 RBIs.
Uribe was a big reason the Giants stayed in the NL wild-card chase well into September.
