Dickerson went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-6 win over San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson was situated on the bench against left-handed opener Adrian Morejon, but the slugger was immediately inserted into the game as soon as a righty took the bump. The 29-year-old has started just four of the Giants' last 10 contests despite carrying a gaudy .349/.405/.670 slash line this season. Half of those absences were against left-handed starters, but the other three came against righties. Part of that can be attributed to a crowded outfield with plenty of currently hot bats, but it may also be an effort to rest the slugger after he tweaked his surgically repaired back two weeks ago. Whatever the case, Dickerson is a rare case where his tremendous offensive output keeps him fantasy-relevant in a semi-regular role.

Dickerson is out of Monday's lineup against the Cubs due to right oblique tightness, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson insisted that the injury isn't anything significant, and he also noted that he'll be available off the bench Monday evening. He expects to be back in the starting nine for Tuesday's clash, but his status will certainly be worth keeping an eye on moving forward.

Dickerson sits for the second game in a row Monday against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson and Austin Slater had been alternating starts in the outfield corners over the last eight games, with Mike Yastrzemski starting for whichever of them was on the bench. Slater starts for the second game in a row in right field Monday, with Yastrzemski in left.

Dickerson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 11-4 loss to the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Friday's day off didn't slow down Dickerson's red-hot bat one bit, as he cranked the homer that caused him to fall short of hitting for the cycle in his previous start Thursday. The 29-year-old is slashing a career-best .352/.410/.670 over 100 plate appearances this year. It is worth noting that Dickerson has sat against right-handed starters twice over the last four games. Part of that is due to the addition of Austin Slater to a crowded outfield, but it may also be due to a cautious approach after the outfielder suffered a minor back injury last week and his history of severe back issues. Even with the recent reduction in playing time, Dickerson's production alone keeps him in the mixed-league conversation.
