Pablo Sandoval will start for the Giants at second base Sunday night:

He’s their emergency pitcher, emergency catcher, backup third baseman and backup first baseman.

Now, Pablo Sandoval will attempt to show off his versatility in a new way.

Sandoval is penciled in as the Giants’ starting second baseman on Sunday and will start at the position for the first time in his Major League career.

With second basemen Joe Panik and Alen Hanson on the disabled list, Sandoval began taking grounders at the position last week. Reserve infielder Kelby Tomlinson has started at second base with both Panik and Hanson out, but the Giants will give Tomlinson the day off against Cubs pitcher Tyler Chatwood.

He batted as a pitcher, first baseman, third baseman, pinch hitter, and designated hitter this season. He did his best as a pitcher, drawing a walk in on plate appearance for a 1.000 OBP!
