Pagan is not in the Giants' lineup Saturday due to a sore hamstring, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pagan and Hunter Pence are being withheld from the lineup for the same reason, but manager Bruce Bochy said both players will be available to pinch hit. Bochy also noted that the Giants hope to have the pair available in full capacity Sunday. Gregor Blanco will get the starting nod in left field Saturday in Pagan's absence.

Including Wednesday's 0-for-3 game, Pagan is just 1-for-15 (.067) since returning from his hamstring injury.

EDGE Analysis

We've seen this movie before. Pagan plays exceptionally well for a period of time, then gets injured, then doesn't look right after rushing back from the injury. He is in no risk of losing his job anytime soon, but fantasy owners can probably find a hotter bat on waivers in most formats.

Pagan is back in the lineup Friday, batting ninth and playing left field, Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pagan had been sidelined with a hamstring issue since May 3, but it appears that his hammy is back to 100 percent. He'll likely reclaim his spot as the everyday left fielder for San Francisco going forward.

Pagan (hamstring) is expected to return to the lineup Friday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pagan missed the last 10 games with his hamstring injury, but manager Bruce Bochy said following Thursday's contest that he would be back on the field Friday. Barring any setbacks with his hamstring, Pagan figures to resume his role as the Giants' regular left fielder moving forward.

Pagan (hamstring) is out of the lineup Thursday against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran left fielder remains sidelined by a nagging hamstring issue that has kept him off the field for 11 games in a row as of Thursday. Although he's out of the lineup again for the Giants' series opener in Arizona, he is expected to return to the lineup at some point over the weekend.

Pagan (hamstring), who is not in Wednesday's lineup, is expected to return sometime over the coming weekend, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday marks Pagan's 10th consecutive absence, but the outfielder is nearing a return from a nagging hamstring issue. Pagan is expected to sit out again Thursday as the Giants open a four-game set against Arizona, but he could be back as early as Friday night.

Pagan (hamstring) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Pagan was observed running and going through fielding drills Tuesday, but he's apparently still not ready to make his return to game action. Despite missing now 10 straight games, a DL stint for Pagan remains an unlikely scenario.

Pagan (hamstring) ran on the field and took part in some agility drills Tuesday, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tuesday marks Pagan's ninth straight day out of the lineup, but he's ramping up his activity and the team's decision to send pitcher Steven Okert back to Triple-A without officially activating him suggests Pagan could return in the coming days. Jarrett Parker is starting in left field for San Francisco on Tuesday.

Pagan (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Pagan's hamstring injury has kept him off the field since May 1 and Tuesday will be no different as Jarrett Parker will get the start in left field. If Pagan comes in to pinch hit Tuesday, the Giants would not be able to backdate him to May 1 in the event that they place him on the disabled list. As such, Pagan may be at risk of being out of the lineup for a few more days beyond Tuesday.

Pagan (hamstring) will be available to pinch hit Monday against the Blue Jays, Hank Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sidelined since May 1 due to a mild left hamstring strain, Pagan's ability to run for a second consecutive day may have eased the minds of manager Bruce Bochy and company. If Pagan indeed picks of the bat and makes an impact on the basepaths, he could make a return to the starting lineup in the near future. However, Gregor Blanco is receiving yet another nod in left field Monday.
