Panik went 1-for-2 with a pair of walks and a two-run home run in Monday's victory over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Panik has been batting seventh since returning from the disabled list Aug. 25, but Buster Posey's (thumb) absence from the lineup allowed the second baseman to slide up one spot in the order. The 26-year-old has provided deep-league value with light contributions in runs (43), homers (eight), RBI (42) and steals (four).

Panik went 2-for-3 in Saturday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

The good news is that Panik has started consecutive games since returning from the disabled list; the bad news is that he is batting seventh after manning the two-hole prior to suffering a concussion. The light-hitting second baseman was already a marginal fantasy option with a .272/.330/.396 slash line, but his placement in the bottom of the order limits potential run-scoring opportunities.

Panik (concussion) was activated from the disabled list Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing 10 games, Panik is set to return to action. Prior to being dealt with a concussion, Panik had built a .271/.330/.397 line over 106 games. Now that he's back in full health, Panik should resume his duties as San Francisco's everyday second baseman.

Panik (concussion) went 0-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's rehab start with High-A San Jose, San Jose Giants' broadcaster Joe Ritzo reports.

EDGE Analysis

Panik has gone 0-for-5 in two rehab appearances, but Ritzo added that the second baseman made several outstanding defensive plays in the field. Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reported on Tuesday that the 26-year-old could rejoin the Giants as soon as their upcoming road trip which begins Friday against the Diamondbacks. Panik has slashed .271/.330/.397 through 109 games this season.

Panik (concussion) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Panik has been steadily improving since he was placed on the 7-day DL a week ago, and he's apparently symptom-free and ready to return to game action. It's unclear how long he'll spend on a rehab assignment, but barring any setbacks, it shouldn't be too long before he's back with the Giants. When Panik does return, expect him to immediately reclaim his role as the everyday second baseman for San Francisco.

Panik (concussion) ran sprints on the field Sunday and is optimistic he will be activated soon, Andrew Baggarly of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

He said his headaches went away Friday and hasn't had any of the balance/vision issues he had last year when he had a concussion. It is possible he could return before the end of the month. Kelby Tomlinson is starting at second base and hitting second in the finale against the Phillies.

Panik was placed on the concussion DL on Tuesday, Andrew Baggarly of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Panik was shifted to the 7-day DL ahead of Tuesday's game, with Orlando Calixte reporting back to the Giants to offer infield depth in a corresponding move. Kelby Tomlinson is expected to see the bulk of reps at second base while Panik remains sidelined.

Panik is expected to land on the concussion DL, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants are reportedly in the process of doing the paperwork to place Panik on the 7-day DL, but the move is not yet official. He had supposedly passed all of his concussion tests since suffering the head injury on Sunday, but obviously there are some symptoms. Kelby Tomlinson should settle into regular playing time in the short term and Orlando Calixte is expected to be promoted to serve as infield depth while Panik is out.

Panik (head) is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Marlins, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Panik has passed all his concussion tests since suffered a head injury during the doubleheader with the Nationals on Sunday, so for the time being, he'll be listed as day-to-day and avoid the 7-day disabled list. If Panik incurs some concussion symptoms at a later date, however, a move to the DL would grow more likely. That would allow Kelby Tomlinson, who will earn his third straight start Tuesday, to settle in as an everyday option at the keystone.

Panik (head) passed concussion tests again Monday but his availability remains in question and the 7-day DL is a possibility, Andrew Baggarly of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's great news that Panik is passing the concussion tests thus far, but concussion symptoms can sometimes take more than two days to show up. As such, the Giants may choose to take it safe considering they are playing out the end of a lost season. Kelby Tomlinson has replaced Panik in the lineup at second base and would be the logical replacement should Panik be placed on the disabled list.
