Joe Panik sitting as Giants take on Padres

San Francisco Giants second baseman Joe Panik is not starting on Sunday versus the San Diego Padres.

What It Means:

Miguel Gomez is making just the second major league start of his career on Sunday afternoon, so Panik will sit down in the series finale against right-hander Dinelson Lamet and the Padres. He's slashing .266/.323/.394 over 372 plate appearances (89 games) this season.

numberFire's models project Panik to record a .260 batting average in 241 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
