Panik has been scratched from Tuesday's Cactus League lineup, after suffering a minor ankle injury Monday, Andrew Baggarly of the Bay Area News Group reports.
Analysis:
This doesn't sound like anything that will threaten Panik's Opening Day availability, as the report says the Giants are just being overly cautious as the season draws near. If the injury unexpectedly turns out to be more serious, the candidates for playing time at second base will be Ehire Adrianza, Joaquin Arias and Matt Duffy.
