Parra is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Dodgers, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parra will stick on the bench for a second straight game as the Giants look to give him an extended breather amidst a brutal 3-for-29 (.103) slump over his last nine games. Tyler Austin is starting in left field and hitting second in this one.

Parra is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

He is in the midst of a 3-for-28 (.107) slump over his last eight games, and could be in danger of falling out of a steady role, even on this lackluster roster. Yangervis Solarte will start in left field and hit second.

Parra batted second Tuesday, going 0-for-4 in a 7-6 win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Parra was promoted to second in the order Saturday, and he has stuck in that spot for three consecutive games. The 31-year-old hasn't produced in his new role (0-for-11), and the man whose spot he took, Joe Panik, may have snapped out of his own funk with a big day at the plate Tuesday (2-for-4 with three RBI). So while it seems that Parra has become the Giants' regular two-hole hitter against righties, he will have to step up his game or run the risk of giving the role back to Panik.

Parra will bat second and start in left field Saturday against the Pirates, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parra has slotted in anywhere between sixth and ninth in the order this season, so his appointment to the No. 2 spot is a noteworthy development, especially with a righty (Jameson Taillon) on the mound for Pittsburgh. Joe Panik has served as the Giants' main option out of the two hole this season, but his ongoing struggles will prompt manager Bruce Bochy to at least give Parra a one-time look in that lineup spot.

Parra is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants will hold out two of their lefty-hitting regulars in Parra and Joe Panik with southpaw Patrick Corbin on the hill for Washington. Brandon Belt will man left field in Parra's stead while Tyler Austin enters the lineup at Belt's usual spot at first base.

Parra went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 9-6 loss to the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

He took reliever Austen Williams deep in the ninth inning for his first homer of the year, part of a late rally against the beleaguered Washington bullpen that fell short. Parra's .218/.302/.327 slash line through 19 games isn't pretty, but he should continue seeing regular playing time and get a chance to find his groove at the plate.

Parra is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parra will give way to Tyler Austin in left field for Wednesday's series finale with a southpaw in Nick Margevicius toeing the rubber for the Padres. The veteran outfielder is slashing .219/.324/.281 with two RBI through 12 games.

Parra has a cut on his lip but will be available for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

At first glance, Parra looked to get hit in the face by a 93 mph fastball during Monday's contest, although the ball reportedly struck his shoulder first before connecting with his face, lessening the blow. The 31-year-old left fielder is lucky to have walked away without a far more serious injury. Skipper Bruce Bochy stated after the game that Parra is fine outside of his cut lip.

Parra was removed from Monday's game against San Diego after being struck in the face by a pitch, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parra stayed down for a few minutes while trainers attended to him, but he was eventually able to get up and walk off the field under his own power with a towel against his face, per John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle. While this was a frightening moment for Parra, he appears to have avoided a significant injury and will likely head back to the clubhouse to determine the extent of the damage.

Parra is not in the lineup Monday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Parra will head to the bench for Monday's series opener with lefty Eric Lauer getting the start for the Padres. Brandon Belt will cover left field in place of Parra, opening up a spot in the lineup for Tyler Austin to start at first base.
