Dickerson is not in the lineup Wednesday against Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson has gone 7-for-10 with three doubles and three RBI in two starts since returning from a minor back injury, but he'll retreat to the bench for Wednesday's series finale as the Giants look to ease him back into action. Austin Slater is starting in the outfield and hitting second in his place.

Dickerson went 4-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-4 win over Colorado.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson hasn't skipped a beat since returning from his minor back injury, going a combined 7-for-10 with three doubles and three RBI in two starts. The 29-year-old has been playing every game like he's in Coors Field since joining the Giants, slashing .400/.471/.783 with four homers and 18 RBI over 67 plate appearances. Dickerson continues to start in right field and bat in the heart of the order against right-handed starters. It would be tough to ignore this kind of production in almost any format.

Dickerson (back) is back in the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson left Friday's game with back tightness and did not appear in either game over the weekend. He'll play left field and bat cleanup in Monday afternoon's game, though there's a good chance the Giants sit him for the nightcap to avoid overtaxing his back.

Dickerson (back) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Milwaukee, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson was removed from Friday's game with back tightness and will be out of the lineup for a second straight contest. The 29-year-old has battled significant back issues in the past, but manager Bruce Bochy believes the issue is minor and that he'll rejoin the starting nine Monday. According to Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle, Dickerson is also available off the bench Sunday.

Dickerson (back) is on the bench as expected Saturday against the Brewers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson left Friday's game with back tightness and was ruled out for Saturday's contest after the game. Brandon Belt will start in left field in his absence and could spend more time there until the Giants are fully confident in Dickerson's health, as he's had significant back problems in the past.

Dickerson left Friday's game against the Brewers with back tightness and will be held out of Saturday's game, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
He went 0-for-3 before exiting. Back issues have plagued Dickerson for several years, so the Giants won't take any chances, already ruling him out the night before Saturday's contest. Hopefully it is just a day-to-day issue. Mike Yastrzemski could get the start in left field in his place.

Dickerson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
He's up to four homers and 14 RBI in just 14 games with the Giants after batting just .158 over 12 games with the Padres earlier in the year. Dickerson will start against right-handers primarily going forward, but he's making the most of his limited at-bats with a season line of .295/.348/.590 in 26 games overall.
