Panik is playing second base and batting leadoff Friday against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will be the second time Panik has hit in the leadoff spot this season, going 2-for-4 with two doubles in his first stint atop the order. Manager Bruce Bochy mentioned Panik, along with Brandon Belt, as possible leadoff hitters against right-handed pitchers, so he should continue to see favorable placement in the lineup against righties if he keeps producing.
