Panik is out of the lineup Thursday against the Dodgers.

Analysis:

He gets the start at the keystone most days for the Giants, but will make way for Matt Duffy in Thursday's contest. Panik is hitting .287 and has four hits in his last three games. While he won't offer much power or speed, his ability to hit for a high average and score a lot of runs brings plenty to the table in deeper leagues.
