Aoki (leg) is out of Sunday's lineup against the Dodgers. Aoki exited Saturday's game against the Dodgers with a leg contusion, and was expected to miss Sunday's game as a result. Given the left-handed Brett Anderson on the mound for the Dodgers, he may have been out of the lineup regardless. Brandon Belt will slide over from first base to play left field, while Buster Posey will come out from behind the plate and play first and Andrew Susac will catch.

Aoki is doubtful for Sunday's game, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports. Aoki is considered day-to-day with a leg contusion after x-rays came back negative. Jarrett Parker could see time in the outfield, should Aoki have to miss any games.

Aoki left Saturday's game against the Dodgers with a lower-leg contusion. Carlos Frias hit Aoki with a pitch to open the game, and while Aoki was able to stay in initially, he appeared hobbled as he came around to score and the Giants decided to take him out. Fortunately, it seems he escaped with just a bruise, but Aoki's status for Sunday's game is up in the air.

Aoki left Saturday's game against the Dodgers in Los Angeles after he was hit by a pitch on his leg, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports. Aoki visibly struggled to score on Angel Pagan's sacrifice fly, which prompted his removal. In his place, Gregor Blanco moved to left field, while Justin Maxwell entered to man right. Because the extent of the injury is unknown, consider Aoki questionable for Sunday night's series finale.

Aoki went 3-for-3 Saturday with a walk, a run scored and two RBI. He's hitting a cool .500 (8-for-16) over his last four games, and Aoki has pushed his slash line back up to .324/.398/.410 on the season. Even with Hunter Pence back in the lineup, Aoki is making a strong case for a spot in the everyday lineup.

Aoki went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a stolen base while leading off for the Giants on Monday. There had been a lot of lineup shuffling in the outfield since Hunter Pence returned May 16. However, it appears manager Bruce Bochy has finally settled on a permanent lineup over the past five games. After losing playing time to Justin Maxwell and Gregor Blanco, Aoki has apparently won the starting left field job and leadoff spot in the lineup. He will likely still sit against lefties occasionally, but this is a definite boost for his already solid value.

Aoki was perfect at the plate Monday, going 4-for-4 with a home run and a stolen base in the win over Milwaukee. This was easily Aoki's best performance of the season. The power was an unexpected surprise Monday, but the 11 stolen bases on the season is no fluke. After seeing a slightly reduced role when Hunter Pence (forearm) returned from the disabled list, Aoki has now started six of the Giants' last seven games. Make sure he is not available on your league's waiver wire.

Aoki is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports. An everyday player to start the year, Aoki has seen his playing time take a fairly significant hit over the past week or so with the return of Hunter Pence. He may be in there for the nightcap, but Aoki, Gregor Blanco and Justin Maxwell figure to continue rotating in left field for the foreseeable future.

Aoki is not in the lineup against the Dodgers on Wednesday, Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times reports. After starting the last two games, Aoki will return to the bench with left-hander Brett Anderson on the mound for Los Angeles. Justin Maxwell will get the nod in left field, and he's joined by Angel Pagan in center and Hunter Pence in right.

Aoki returned to the lineup Sunday after sitting out three consecutive contests. He returned with a vengeance, going 3-for-6 with three RBI and his 10th stolen base of the season in the win over the Reds. Aoki was inexplicably benched for three games in favor of the hot-hitting Gregor Blanco, but an injury to Angel Pagan (ba2ck) reopened a spot in the starting lineup for the quick outfielder. With Hunter Pence back from the DL, the Giants' outfield situation becomes awfully crowded. It is still unclear how manager Bruce Bochy will divvy up the at-bats between Aoki, Blanco, and Justin Maxwell once Pagan returns from his minor back injury. Owners have no choice but to sit on their hands, as Aoki has been providing solid fantasy production when he plays.
