Joe Panik (groin) jogged, did agility drills Tuesday for Giants

San Francisco Giants second baseman Joe Panik (groin) added treadmill jogging and agility drills to his workout Tuesday.

What It Means:

It's a strong signal he's close to returning to the Giants' starting lineup, and Panik could even pinch-hit on Tuesday night. The second baseman has been out since last Friday because of a minor groin injury.

Panik is slashing .280/.340/.484 with 3 home runs and a .354 wOBA in 103 plate appearances this season. Our models currently project him to finish the season with a .339 wOBA, 10 home runs and 6 stolen bases across 487 plate appearances in 2016.
