No corresponding roster move has been announced. Those details will be updated as soon as they become available.
Outfielder Nate Schierholtz is a primary candidate to land on the DL. He's been battling a sore foot after fouling a ball of it in the eighth inning of the Aug. 15 game in Atlanta.
Tuesday, Schierholtz was wearing a protective boot on the injured food and he told reporters that an MRI and CT scan performed Monday revealed a "crack."
In 11 games with the Giants, Beltran is hitting .244 with no home runs and two RBI. He was placed on disabled list on Aug. 8 with a strained hand. He was injured during an Aug. 7 at-bat against the Pirates and was forced to leave the game.
