Panik (thumb) will stay out of the lineup until Tuesday's series opener against the Royals, but is available to come off the bench this weekend, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Panik suffered a mild thumb sprain that caused him to miss Friday's contest, with the injury occurring on his glove hand. The 26-year-old should be good to go by Tuesday, but will be replaced by Aaron Hill at second base for the time being.
