Panik will man second base and bat eighth in the order during Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

An earlier lineup had listed Panik as the Giants' ninth hitter behind starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner, but the two are actually flipping spots in the order. After a disappointing 2016 campaign that was tarnished in part due to injury, it looks like Panik will have to prove himself in the lower third of the lineup before potentially moving into a table-settling role if his skills as a contact hitter reemerge.
