Joe Panik (back) placed on 15-day DL
The Giants have placed Joe Panik on the 15-day DL with lower back inflammation.
What It Means:
Panik is in the midst of a breakout year hitting .309/.374/.443 with a .357 wOBA. He has the third highest nERD among batters on the Giants at 1.84, which is the number of runs he contributes above a league-average hitter per game. Our algorithm currently gives the Giants a 59.5 percent chance to make the playoffs and a 4.5 percent chance to win the World Series. These chances could take a hit in Panik's absence.
