Panik went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Panik joined the parade of hits the Giants put on against Archie Bradley and the Diamondbacks on Saturday. That is now back-to-back games with multiple hits for the second baseman. With Kelby Tomlinson added to the club when rosters expanded Sept. 1 Panik has been getting some days off against left-handed pitchers. A platoon would negatively affect his value down the stretch. On the flip side, he could potentially find himself back in the top third of the batting order if he continues to swing a hot bat due to Denard Span's recent struggles.
