Panik was moved up to second in the order Tuesday, going 0-for-5 in the win over St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

The lineup shift didn't pay immediate dividends for the second baseman, but it was a move that was bound to be made with Denard Span struggling mightily atop the lineup and Panik slashing .283/.328/.453 over his previous 15 games. Assuming manager Bruce Bochy sticks with this lineup going forward, Panik is worthy of a pickup as his opportunities to produce counting stats should increase while batting second.
