Bound for injured list Longoria (oblique) will open the season on the 10-day injured list, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Will start season on injured list Manager Gabe Kapler said Monday that Belt (heel) won't be ready for Opening Day, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Belt had been dealing with right heel pain throughout camp, and Kapler confirmed Monday that the 32-year-old will begin the season on the injured list as he continues to recover. While he'll miss the first several games of the regular season, it remains to be seen exactly how much time he'll miss as a result of the injury. With Belt and Evan Longoria (oblique) sidelined, Wilmer Flores and Pablo Sandoval (elbow) could see an uptick in playing time to begin the year.

Nursing moderate oblique strain Longoria has a moderate right oblique strain, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury Newsreports.
Impact The veteran third baseman injured his right oblique while swinging. Manager Gabe Kapler isn't certain Longoria or Brandon Belt (heel) will be ready for Opening Day. Pablo Sandoval and Wilmer Flores will likely see an uptick in playing time if either slugger is unable to play during the beginning of the season. Longoria had a rough spring, going just 5-for-25, and is coming off a .254/.325/.437 showing with 69 RBI across 508 plate appearances in 2019.

Likely cleared for infield work Sandoval (elbow) will likely be cleared to play first base and third base to begin the 2020 season, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
Impact Sandoval had made successful progress in his recovery from Tommy John surgery during the offseason and got some work as the designated hitter in spring training, but he'll likely be able to get more opportunities to play once the season gets underway. The veteran hit .268/.313/.507 with 14 home runs and 41 RBI last year and will likely compete for playing time with Evan Longoria.
