Dickerson went 1-for-3 with an RBI against the Marlins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson has been struggling for most of the campaign and entered this game with only one hit in his previous 12 at-bats, but he was the Giants' hero Sunday after plating the game's lone run with an RBI single that scored Tommy La Stella. The veteran outfielder only has six hits this season, however, and his struggles make him a low-end fantasy asset at this point.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson is not in Friday's lineup against the Mariners, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He will head to the bench for the second game in a row with a southpaw (Yusei Kikuchi) toeing the rubber for Seattle. Dickerson homered off the bench Thursday and should start Saturday's game with righty Chris Flexen starting for the Mariners. In the meantime, Austin Slater draws another leadoff start in left.

Dickerson hit a solo home run in his only at-bat in Thursday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Dickerson pinch hit for Austin Slater in the ninth inning. The move worked, as Dickerson's homer tied the game at 7-7, forcing an extra inning. The 30-year-old outfielder hit 10 homers and slashed .298/.371/.576 in 52 games last season as a near-everyday presence in the Giants' lineup. He figures to work the strong side of a platoon in left field, while Slater will often start against southpaws.
