Panik (back) was placed on the 60-day DL on Wednesday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Bruce Bochy had suggested Panik's season was likely over following his latest setback, but this roster move makes it official. It's a tough way for his sophomore season to end, but Panik turned in strong production when on the field, batting .312/.378/.455 with eight homers and 37 RBI. Kelby Tomlinson will remain the starting second baseman the rest of the way.
