Panik is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Panik will be one of three Giants regulars on the bench with southpaw Robbie Ray on the bump for Arizona. Along with Panik, Brandon Crawford and Steven Duggar will get the day off, opening spots in the lineup for Chase d'Arnaud, Alen Hanson and Austin Slater.

Panik is out of Friday's lineup against the Diamondbacks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Panik will take a seat as lefty Patrick Corbin takes the mound for the opposition. Panik has gone 0-for-4 in three games since returning from the disabled list.

Panik is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Padres, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Panik will take a seat against the left-handed Clayton Richard. Chase d'Arnaud will get the start at second base.

Panik (groin) was activated from the 10-day disabled list ahead of Monday's tilt against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Panik had been on the shelf since July 7 due to a left groin strain, and although he's not in Monday's starting lineup, he'll be available off the bench and figures to return to action Tuesday. He'll resume his duty as the everyday second baseman, bumping Alen Hanson and Chase d'Arnaud back into utility roles.

Panik (groin) is nearing a return to the majors after starting all nine innings of a rehab start with Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Panik began a rehab assignment Thursday, going a combined 3-for-10 (all singles) in three consecutive games. The 27-year-old was able to complete nine full frames Saturday, so an activation off the disabled list should come in short order. Panik hasn't provided much offense this season (.240/.309/.345), but his solid defense and strong contact skills (89.6 career contact percentage) should allow him to retake the Giants' starting job at the keystone.

Panik (groin) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment Thursday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Panik began taking swings Friday and has avoided any setback as he resumed baseball activities over the past week. The 27-year-old seems on track for a return around the start of August, which is on par with the expected three-week absence when he was evaluated after being placed on the disabled list in early July.

Panik (groin) took some swings Friday and he could begin a rehab assignment within the next week, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Panik landed on the disabled list July 7 with a left groin strain, but he's nearing a return to action. If he responds well to batting practice and other baseball activities, he'll likely begin a minor-league stint early next week, with a potential return coming in early August.

Panik (groin) is expected to spend about three weeks on the disabled list, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants indicated earlier Tuesday that Panik may miss up to six weeks, so the updated timeline is definitely good news for the second baseman. The 27-year-old is looking at a potential return at the start of August, with Alen Hanson and Austin Slater likely to reap the benefits of his absence.

Panik was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a left groin strain Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Panik left Friday's game with the injury and was expected to end up on the disabled list. He'll be out until after the All-Star break, though a specific timeline is not yet known. Chase d'Arnaud's contract was purchased from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. The injury possibly opens up more playing time for Austin Slater, with Alen Hanson likely to move in from the outfield to fill his preferred second base role.

Panik left Friday's matchup against St. Louis with a left groin strain, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Panik was removed after he appeared to suffer an injury while running the bases. His status for Saturday's game is currently unknown, although he'll likely be reevaluated in the morning.
