Pagan is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks, freelance writer Andrew Baggarly reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pagan has made nine straight starts for the Giants, but the switch-hitting outfield will take a seat with back-to-back day games on tap for San Francisco. In his stead, manager Bruce Bochy will employ an outfield composed of Jarrett Parker (left), Gregor Blanco (center) and Mac Williamson (right).

Pagan went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, two walks and two runs in Thursday's 12-6 victory over the A's.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran closed out a highly productive June with 13 hits in his last 28 at-bats, and hit safely in 12 of the 15 games he played in overall. Pagan has brought his average up 26 points since June 14, and drove in 15 RBI in that abbreviated span as well.

Pagan moved up to second in the batting order Tuesday, delivering a 2-for-5 performance with a pair of RBI and a run scored against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

With Joe Panik sidelined due to concussion symptoms, manager Bruce Bochy opted to slide Pagan into the vacant two-hole. With a solid .346 OBP and an ability to make good contact, Pagan profiles as the perfect substitute for Panik in the top third of the lineup. There is a chance the Giants elect to place Panik on the 7-day concussion DL, so Pagan could see some extended run batting second, which would result in an increase in counting stats and potential stolen base opportunities. This move gives him a slight bump in value, but he should be owned regardless after batting .480 with 11 RBI and two steals over his last seven games.

Pagan went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI Friday. He also stole his seventh bag of the season in a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Pagan has hit the ground running since returning from the disabled list June 14, batting .306 with nine RBI and two steals over that span. With Hunter Pence sidelined, the Giants have been batting him in the middle of the lineup, which would explain his outburst in RBI. When healthy, Pagan can be a productive fantasy outfielder, and he seems to be in the zone right now.

Pagan is out of the lineup Thursday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

He is one of several veterans who will get a break during Thursday's day game. When healthy, Pagan offers sneaky value, especially in deeper formats, as he can make modest contributions across the board. Jarrett Parker will get the start in left field and hit seventh Thursday.

Pagan went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Tuesday's 15-4 win at Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Pagan's grand slam was part of a seven-run fourth inning that blew the game open. The veteran outfielder came into this game with just two hits and no RBI in his last four games, but those numbers could get inflated in a hurry with almost everyone else in the Giants order clicking at the moment.

Pagan went 1-for-4 with a steal in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

The oft-injured Pagan showed that his hamstring is fully healthy by swiping his sixth bag of the season. He isn't quite a must-add player in shallower leagues, but he proved to be a useful fantasy asset before getting injured at the beginning of May.

Pagan (hamstring) went 3-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and two runs in Wednesday's blowout win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

It looks like the veteran outfielder was right when he convinced manager Bruce Bochy that he was ready to come off the DL a couple days ahead of schedule. Pagan has collected four hits, two RBI and scored three runs in the two games since returning. In 10 May games -- while he was dealing with a nagging hamstring injury -- Pagan was only able to tally five hits, so it appears the short DL stint was a good idea.

Pagan (hamstring) returned to the lineup Tuesday, going 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in a win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Pagan wasn't expected to be activated until Wednesday, but he convinced manager Bruce Bochy that he was completely recovered from the hamstring injury that cost him 29 games this season. It is important to note that he did not return to his usual "second leadoff hitter" role at the bottom of the batting order, instead batting seventh Tuesday. While he may get a few more RBI moving out of the spot directly behind the pitcher, Pagan could see his run and stolen base opportunities diminished while batting seventh, which are a big part of his fantasy value.

Pagan (hamstring) will return Tuesday against the Brewers after being a late addition to the lineup, Amy Gutierrez of CSN Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pagan will replace Jarrett Parker from the lineup card in left field, and is slotted at the seventh spot in the order. The outfielder had been out since May 23 when he left a game against the Padres with a sore hamstring. Before he went on the disabled list, he was batting .275 with two home runs on the season. In accordance with Pagan's activation off the DL, the Giants optioned Mac Williamson.
