Panik is out of the lineup Sunday against the Padres, Andrew Baggarly of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants typically don't keep the lefty-hitting Panik on the bench against right-handers, but he'll find himself in that predicament for the second time in five games while Miguel Gomez picks up another start at the keystone. With Panik mustering a .219 on-base percentage in July, manager Bruce Bochy could be rethinking the 26-year-old's standing as an everyday player, though the Giants aren't exactly brimming with attractive alternatives.

Panik is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

It marks just the second time since June 14 that the 26-year-old has received a day off, but the Giants want to give phenom Miguel Gomez a shot at his first big league start, so Panik will give way and head to the bench. The lefty has cooled down since hitting .356 in the month of June, but still posits himself as the primary second baseman moving forward.

Panik went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Panik carried his hot streak into the second half, bringing his slash line up to .320/.357/.476 over his last 25 games, contributing 16 runs and three homers over that span. The 26-year-old isn't an exciting fantasy option at the keystone due to a lack of plus power or speed, but his ability to hit consistently and provide just enough counting stats across the board should keep him relevant in deeper leagues.

Panik went 1-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in a 6-2 loss to the Tigers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old received a scheduled day off Wednesday, but he managed to keep his six-game hitting streak alive upon returning to the lineup. Panik doesn't offer a ton of power or speed, but he has been a solid source of counting stats (15 runs and nine RBI over his last 20 games) while batting second for the Giants.

Panik is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Tigers, NBC Sports Bay Area's Alex Pavlovic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The switch flipped for Panik in June -- like many of San Francisco's hitters -- as he slashed a healthy .359/.403/.484 through 16 games. The second baseman is currently carrying a modest five-game hit streak, but he will put that on hold and see the bench against the left-handed Daniel Norris on Wednesday. Kelby Tomlinson will start in his stead.

Panik went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs during Monday's win over Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Panik is having a solid month for the Giants and fantasy owners with three homers, 11 RBI, 12 runs and a .368/.427/.553 slash line through 20 games. He's in the midst of a rebound season and batting second and playing everyday at the keystone provides a respectable virtual floor. However, he hardly moves the needle in the power or speed columns, so his upside is capped.

Panik went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's 12-11 loss to the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old continued his torrid month of June, upping his slash line to .371/.431/.597 while producing three of his five homers this month. The Giants' overall lack of offensive production has limited Panik's counting stats during his hot stretch, but the second baseman is still doing enough as a batting average booster with light pop to warrant deep-league consideration.

Panik is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Braves, Andrew Baggarly of The Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Panik gets the day off as Kelby Tomlinson takes over at second base while hitting second in the order. This will be Panik's first game on the bench since coming back from his thumb injury last week. In that span, the 26-year-old has gone 12-for-30 with an OPS of .986.

Panik went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored Friday against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Friday was another solid night for Panik, who homered to right in his first at-bat. He's now hitting .385 with an OPS of 1.135 over 47 plate appearances in June.

Panik (thumb) returned to the lineup Wednesday, going 2-for-4 in a loss to the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants' second baseman suffered a minor thumb injury June 8, but he was able to avoid a trip to the disabled list. Wednesday's two-hit performance is a good sign that the ailment won't hinder his ability to swing the bat going forward. A May slump brought Panik's batting average down to .259 on the season, but he has performed better in June, slashing .367/.459/.567 in eight games.
