Kung Fu Panda sidelined 4-6 weeks

San Francisco Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval, known colloquially as Kung Fu Panda, has broken his left hamate bone.

Initial reports do not indicate if Sandoval injured his hamate trying to chop through a cinder block, but it has not been ruled out.

The third baseman is hitting .316 with five home runs in 2012.
