"Third baseman Scott Rolen did not start Monday's game here, after fouling a ball off his left foot (instep) Sunday in San Francisco.

Rolen is limping slightly and has some bruising. He fouled the ball off his foot in the second inning Sunday, but stayed in the game.

"I'll be hobbling a little bit," Rolen said. "I wish it could have happened in the eighth inning instead of the second, because I stood around on it for three hours and got three more at-bats on it. I'm not too worried about it."

Manager Dusty Baker said Rolen probably would have started Monday. Miguel Cairo started instead.

"(Rolen) is a little sore today," Baker said. "We didn't know if we was going to make it through the game or not (Sunday). He's starting to swing the bat pretty good, too."

Rolen was just 3-for-14 in the Giants series but stung the ball several times, with two doubles, a triple and two RBI in the series. Among his outs were a long drive that probably would have left Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. Rolen last homered April 7.

"I had some better at-bats and got the barrel on a couple there in San Francisco," Rolen said. "I just wish there were greater rewards in that ballpark.""
