Panik isn't in Friday's starting lineup against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Panik will get the night off after taking the collar in Wednesday's matchup with Toronto (0-for-4). Yangervis Solarte draws the start at the keystone and will bat sixth in Panik's stead.

Panik went 2-for-4 with a double, solo home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Panik entered Tuesday's game 2-for-23 over his last six games, which resulted in being dropped to the bottom of the batting order. The 28-year-old is slashing .197/.280/.288 through 66 at-bats.

Panik will hit eighth and start at second base Saturday against the Pirates, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants are deploying a lineup of regulars versus Pirates righty Jameson Taillon, which suggests that Panik's move from the No. 2 spot in the order all the way down to eighth could be the new norm. Manager Bruce Bochy is certainly justified in dropping Panik in the lineup, especially after the 28-year-old went hitless while striking out in three of four at-bats Friday to sink his season average to .193. Left fielder Gerardo Parra will move into the two hole in Panik's stead.

Panik is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Panik will move to the bench with lefty Patrick Corbin twirling for the Nationals in the series finale. The switch-hitting Yangervis Solarte checks into the lineup at second base to give the Giants another option from the right side to counter Corbin.

Panik batted second and went 2-for-4 with a double in Thursday's 1-0 win over Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Panik returned to the lineup after serving three consecutive games on the bench (all against southpaws). Unlike previous years, it looks like the 28-year-old will operate in a strict platoon with Yangervis Solarte at the keystone. This is unfortunate news for Panik owners, as his career splits against lefties (.269/.327/.341) aren't egregiously worse than his numbers against righties (.280/.343/.414).

Panik is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Panik will sit for a third straight game as the Giants face another lefty starter in Nick Margevicius. While the second baseman hasn't sat against every southpaw this season, he's now been on the bench for the last four the Giants have faced. Yangervis Solarte is starting at the keystone and hitting seventh in this one.

Panik remains on the bench Tuesday against the Giants, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Panik hasn't been sitting against every lefty, but he's been on the bench for the last three the Giants have faced. Yangervis Solarte gets the nod at second base with Joey Lucchesi on the mound.

Panik is not in the lineup Monday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Panik has started the past four games for the Giants, going 2-for-11 with two runs scored and a 3:0 BB:K. He'll head to the bench for Monday's series opener with a southpaw in Eric Lauer toeing the rubber for San Diego. In his place, Yangervis Solarte will start at the keystone and hit seventh.

Panik is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants have faced five lefties in their first six games, but Panik has started against three of them, so it doesn't appear as though he'll be subject to a platoon. Yangervis Solarte takes his spot at second base Tuesday.

Panik isn't starting Friday's game against the Padres, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Panik went 0-for-3 in Thursday's season opener, so he'll take a seat Friday. Yangervis Solarte draws the start at the keystone and will bat third.
