Dickerson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Braves, according to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson started in left field the last two times the Giants faced right-handed starters, but the team is facing a left-hander Sunday for the third time in four games, and Joey Rickard has gotten the start in left in all three of those instances.

Dickerson is not in Thursday's lineup against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

He is 2-for-25 with zero home runs, one walk and nine strikeouts in his last 10 games. Austin Slater will start in right field against lefty Eduardo Rodriguez.

Dickerson (oblique) started in left field and went 1-for-4 in Wednesday's 11-3 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson made his first start since Sept. 3 due to an ongoing battle with back issues. The 29-year-old was removed for a pinch runner in the eighth inning, but that appeared to be a strategic maneuver with no reports of any health setbacks. There is a strong chance Dickerson gets rested for Thursday's series finale in Boston with a southpaw scheduled to take the bump. In fact, three of the Giants' next four projected opposing starters are of the left-handed variety, so fantasy owners in need of volume in the closing moments of the season may want to explore other options in the short term.

Dickerson (oblique) is in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, according to Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson has not started a game since Sept. 3 because of his oblique injury, but he is ready to get back in the lineup after pinch hitting in the Giants' last two games. Dickerson will man left field and hit cleanup Wednesday night.

Dickerson (oblique) came off the bench to provide a sacrifice fly in his lone plate appearance against the Red Sox on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson was held out of the starting lineup again despite serving as a pinch hitter in Sunday's contest and getting extra rest on the team's off day Monday. The back-to-back pinch-hit appearances could indicate that the 29-year-old is inching closer to playing a full nine, but everyday playing time may be out of the question with only two weeks left in the regular season and the Giants all but eliminated from playoff contention. Dickerson has slashed .288/.345/.523 (168 plate appearances) when healthy this year.

Dickerson (oblique) isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Boston, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson has been nursing an oblique injury, and even though he was able to pinch hit in Sunday's series finale against Miami, he's not ready to return to the starting nine just yet. Austin Slater draws the start in right field and will bat eighth.

Dickerson (oblique) is scheduled to take live batting practice Friday and could return to the starting lineup Tuesday against Boston, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson appears to be nearing a return to action, though a more concrete timetable for his return should emerge following Friday's activities.

Dickerson (oblique) isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

San Francisco was optimistic that Dickerson would be ready to play by the weekend, but he'll be held out again Friday. There hasn't been another update on his status yet, so he'll be considered day-to-day moving forward. Dickerson received a cortisone shot Saturday.

The Giants hope Dickerson (oblique) will rejoin the lineup by this weekend, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson has apparently progressed nicely since receiving a cortisone injection Saturday and is on the cusp of his return. The 29-year-old hasn't seen game action since Sept. 3 due to the oblique issue.

Dickerson (oblique) flew back to San Francisco for a cortisone shot Saturday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

An oblique issue has kept Dickerson out of action since Tuesday. His return timeline should become clearer once the team sees how the injury responds to the shot.
