Giants' Brandon Belt: Takes seat Monday

Belt is not in the lineup Monday against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Analysis:

With Clayton Kershaw headed to the mound for the Dodgers, Belt will head to the bench as Mike Morse fills in at first base while Gorkys Hernandez takes over in left field. This comes as no surprise, given that Belt is just 3-for-51 (.059) with 27 strikeouts in his career against Kershaw.
