San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence is not in the lineup against the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
Gregor Blanco will take his place in left field and bat from the leadoff position.
Pence is off to a dismal start to the 2018 season with a .386 OPS and -4.68 nERD. numberFire projects him to bounce back, however. We project him to hit .271 with 15 HR, 53 R, and 61 RBI the rest of the way.
