Panik (groin) will be available to pinch hit Thursday against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

The groin injury will keep Panik on the bench again Thursday, marking his sixth consecutive absence, but the 25-year-old is optimistic he'll make it back into the lineup at some point during the Colorado series. Panik was able to do some running Thursday afternoon and is slated to take batting practice.
