Dickerson was hit by a pitch on the foot, but x-rays after Tuesday's game versus Arizona came back negative, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson stayed in the game after pinch hitting for pitcher Jose Alvarez, and the outfielder scored a run when Buster Posey drew a bases-loaded walk. Since there's no broken bone, Dickerson shouldn't be sidelined more than a day or two at most.

Dickerson is not starting Tuesday against Arizona, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brandon Belt's (finger) move to the injured list was expected to lead to more starts for Dickerson against righty starters, but the outfielder will begin Tuesday's game on the bench with right-hander Luke Weaver taking the ball for the Diamondbacks. LaMonte Wade shifts to first base as Kris Bryant, Steven Duggar and Mike Yastrzemski man the outfield from left to right.

Dickerson (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson spent nearly two weeks at Triple-A Sacramento on a rehab assignment, and he went 6-for-11 with a home run, three doubles, four runs and two RBI across the last three games. The 31-year-old isn't guaranteed an everyday role now that he's healthy since LaMonte Wade and Austin Slater are available, but he'll rejoin the active roster after Darin Ruf (oblique) landed on the 10-day IL on Thursday. Dickerson isn't starting Thursday's game against the Padres but should be available off the bench.

Dickerson (hamstring) will remain on his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento for the near future, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson is 3-for-13 through four games with Sacramento, and he'll remain there for the immediate future to keep receiving at-bats. The 31-year-old was 2-for-17 in his last seven games before picking up the hamstring injury and has a .235/.303/.426 slash line for the season. The Giants have a plethora of lineup option after Tommy La Stella and Evan Longoria returned from lengthy stays on the injured list, so Dickerson may not be guaranteed an everyday role once activated.

Dickerson (hamstring) is beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Having only been on the injured list since last Saturday, Dickerson doesn't figure to require more than a couple games of rehab before rejoining the Giants. The outfielder has struggled in recent weeks and may not have as substantial a role once healthy as he did before suffering the hamstring strain.

Dickerson (hamstring) worked out in San Francisco on Wednesday and could soon start a minor-league rehab assignment, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson landed on the 10-day injured list over the weekend with a right hamstring strain, but he doesn't look on track for an extended absence. If he continues to make good progress in his recovery, he could head out on a brief rehab assignment this weekend or early next week.

Dickerson was placed on the injured list with a right hamstring strain Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson wasn't likely to start Saturday against lefty Julio Urias, but he'll now be out until at least Sept. 14. Whether or not he'll miss additional time beyond that point is not yet clear. Mauricio Dubon was recalled to take his place on the roster.
