Byrd is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The 38-year-old will receive a day off, just his third since joining the Giants, after the team was officially eliminated from postseason contention with a loss Tuesday. Jarrett Parker will start in right field and bat fifth against right-hander Mike Bolsinger.

Byrd is out of Sunday's lineup against the Diamondbacks, Alex Pavlovic of the CSN Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Following a 0-for-8 stretch with five strikeouts Friday and Saturday, Byrd will take a day off Sunday. Jarrett Parker will receive the start in his place, batting fifth for the Giants.

Byrd went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple, a run scored, and an RBI in Wednesday's win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Byrd continues to swing a hot bat since being acquired by the Giants. His home run rate has decreased from 18.9 AB/HR to 32.7 AB/HR switching to the cavernous AT&T Park, but he has been hitting for a better average (.306) and has driven in 25 RBI in 25 games since coming to San Francisco. With the Giants shutting down several of their veteran outfielders due to injury, Byrd has become a mainstay in the everyday lineup.

Byrd went 3-for-3 with three runs batted in and a walk in Saturday's 8-0 drubbing of the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Byrd's fourth inning RBI double drove in the first two of seven runs that opposing pitcher Ian Kennedy would allow. The streaky Byrd has been on a tear lately, enjoying a 14-for-25 stretch. With Brandon Crawford, Hunter Pence, and Gregor Blanco all out of the lineup with injuries, Byrd has a safe position in the heart of San Francisco's order. Byrd's hot hitting makes him an enticing option in daily leagues.

Byrd went 4-for-5 on Sunday, hitting a double and knocking in one run while scoring a run himself in a victory over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Byrd, like much of the Giants' bats, had been struggling at the plate as of late, recording just three hits in his last 23 at-bats. He exceeded that total in one game, breaking out of his slump in a big way as the Giants beat up on the Rockies' pitchers throughout the contest. He's found a home in the middle of the batting order and it doesn't appear as if he will relinquish his starting spot in the outfield anytime soon with Nori Aoki (concussion) and Hunter Pence (oblique) unlikely to rejoin the squad in the coming days.

Byrd is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

He will join Buster Posey, Brandon Belt, and Nori Aoki on the bench, with manager Bruce Bochy evidently deciding he needs to hit the reset button with some of his main offensive contributions after dropping seven straight. Gregor Blanco gets the start in right field.

Byrd went 3-for-4, hitting two doubles, a triple and driving in four runs in a loss on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Byrd has been on a mini-tear as of late, reaching base safely in five of his last six games. While he's just 7-for-22 (.318) during that time, five of those seven hits were of the extra-base variety (two doubles, triple, two home runs) and he's driven in 11 runs. While Angel Pagan (knee) and Hunter Pence (oblique) should rejoin the club in the coming days, Byrd could still find semi-regular time if he continues his hot streak at the plate.

Byrd went 1-for-5 with a grand-slam in a 5-4 win over the Cardinals on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Byrd was fortunate to even bat in the inning, as two of the base runners were put on by errors. In any case, he showed why the Giants wanted him as a post-trade deadline acquisition and it's something they desperately need. Recent injuries to Hunter Pence, Angel Pagan, and Norchika Aoki should open up plenty of playing time for Byrd going forward, although Aoki returned Friday night.

The Cincinnati Reds traded outfielder Marlon Byrd to the San Francisco Giants on Thursday for pitching prospect Stephen Johnson, according to ESPN. Byrd will provide outfield depth after Hunter Pence was placed on the disabled Thursday because of an oblique strain.

Byrd went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs in Saturday's loss to the Brewers. Byrd has a nine-game hitting streak and four home runs since being activated from the DL June 19. Better yet, he has just nine strikeouts in 58 at-bats (16%) after striking out in 28 percent of his at-bats before his wrist injury.
