Dickerson is 2-for-12 with two runs, three walks and one stolen base through six spring games.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old is still seeing the ball well as the three walks suggest, but he otherwise hasn't found much success early in camp. Dickerson posted an impressive .298/.371/.576 slash line with 10 homers, 10 doubles and 27 RBI in 52 games last season, though he had only 12 plate appearances against left-handed pitching. He could open 2021 working on the strong side of a platoon in left field, which would still afford him plenty of opportunities.

Dickerson signed a one-year, $2.1 million deal with the Giants on Wednesday to avoid arbitration, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old had a .298/.371/.576 slash line with 10 homers, 10 doubles and 27 RBI over 52 games during the 2020 campaign, so it's not a surprise to see San Francisco bringing him back at such a modest price. Dickerson had only 12 plate appearances against left-handed pitching last season, and he's a strong bet to work in the strong side of a platoon in left field again in 2021.

Dickerson (elbow) hit a solo home run in his only at-bat in Tuesday's win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson was held out of the starting lineup after being hit by a pitch on his right elbow Monday, though the decision to rest him may have had as much to do with the Rockies starting a southpaw. Dickerson was clearly feeling well enough to swing a bat, as he launched a 409-foot homer to center field in the seventh inning. The 30-year-old has been a big part of the Giants' success this season, slashing .295/.373/.591 with 10 home runs and 27 RBI.

Dickerson is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old had X-rays on his right elbow come back negative after being hit by a pitch Monday, but he'll remain on the bench with southpaw Kyle Freeland pitching for Colorado. According to Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area, Dickerson checked out fine despite the bruise and is available off the bench Tuesday. Darin Ruf will bat cleanup and start in left field for the Giants.

Dickerson underwent postgame X-rays on his right elbow after he was struck by a pitch in the ninth inning of Monday's 7-2 loss to the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
The X-rays returned negative, so Dickerson looks like he'll be good to go for Tuesday's game. However, with a lefty (Kyle Freeland) on the bump for Colorado, the lefty-hitting Dickerson could be a candidate to get the night off. Dickerson was making his return from the paternity list Monday and was the Giants' most productive hitter in the loss, reaching base four times while supplying a solo home run and his seventh double of the season.

Dickerson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Monday's 7-2 loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson showed off some new dad power, accounting for half of the Giants' hits in the contest. His biggest was a seventh-inning blast off reliever Carlos Estevez. Dickerson is up to nine homers, 26 RBI, 23 runs scored and a .290/.365/.565 slash line in 45 contests.

Dickerson was reinstated from the paternity list and is starting Monday against the Rockies, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marisnick spent just two days on the paternity list, and he'll return to the Giants' active roster as the team competes for a spot in the postseason over the final week of the regular season. He's leading off and starting in left field Monday.

Giants manager Gabe Kapler said Dickerson (personal) could be activated from the paternity list ahead of Monday's game against the Rockies, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Kapler said he expects Dickerson to be reinstated to the active roster, the skipper acknowledged he hadn't heard if the outfielder's wife gave birth yet. At any rate, Dickerson should be back with the Giants at some point during the four-game series with Colorado, which will leave fewer at-bats available for Darin Ruf, who has started each of the past four contests.

Dickerson was placed on the paternity list Saturday, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Players typically spend three days on paternity leave, though pandemic-related protocols could delay that slightly this season. Austin Slater and Darin Ruf should see more at-bats during his absence, while utility man Daniel Robertson was called up to give the team an extra bat on the bench.

Dickerson is not in the lineup Thursday against the Mariners, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and two runs scored Wednesday and will take a seat in the series finale with lefty Nick Margevicius on the mound. Darin Ruf receives the start in left field for the Giants.
