Parra went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Parra got another start in right field against a southpaw, but he will move over to left following the acquisition of Kevin Pillar, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. The 31-year-old will occasionally be spelled by Connor Joe against southpaws, but the it is unlikely to be a strict platoon given the latter's struggles (0-for-13).

Parra started in right field and went 0-for-3 in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants faced southpaws in three of their first four games this season, relegating Parra to a bench role up until Saturday. The veteran outfielder will see the bulk of starts in right field when a righty is on the mound, but deep-league owners will have to weather the early slew of lefties (five out of the first seven projected starters) through the first week of the season.

Parra is out of the lineup for Friday's game against San Diego, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parra will come off the bench again with left-hander Joey Lucchesi slated to pitch for the Padres. Connor Joe starts again in left field.

Parra is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parra will be a spectator for the Giants' first game of the regular season, as the right-handed-hitting Connor Joe gets the nod in left field against lefty Eric Lauer. It's clear already that Parra's exposure to lefties will be limited, but he figures to be in the lineup against nearly all opposing right-handed starters.

The Giants informed Parra on Friday that he would be included on the Opening Day roster, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Even though Parra was attending spring training as a non-roster invitee, it became apparent early on that he was in good shape to break camp with the big club. Parra's case was undoubtedly aided by the Giants' lack of appealing alternatives more than anything else, but his ability to hit for contact (17 percent career strikeout rate) and play three outfield spots didn't go unnoticed. He currently projects as the favorite to open the season as the Giants' starting right fielder, though his expiring contract and status as an over-30 player won't afford him much job security if he struggles early on.

Parra is the front-runner to begin the season as the Giants' starting right fielder, according to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area.

EDGE Analysis

Parra is slashing .296/.310/.556 in 27 at-bats this spring, seeing the majority of his starts in right field. Pavlovic hinted that Tuesday's outfield configuration of Williamson-Duggar-Parra could be what we end up seeing on Opening Day. The 31-year-old managed just 16 home runs over nearly two full seasons with the Rockies, so he will be nothing more than a solid batting average and a handful of counting stats if he does win the job.

Parra went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and an additional run scored Wednesday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Parra singled and scored in the second inning before knocking a solo homer -- his second of spring -- in the sixth frame. The veteran outfielder, a non-roster invitee, is doing everything he can to claim a starting outfield gig during camp. Through seven games this spring, Parra is 6-for-16 (.375) with a trio of extra-base hits and a stolen base.

Parra went 2-for-2 with a solo homer, a double and two additional runs scored Wednesday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Parra took Glenn Sparkman deep in the fifth inning, marking his first homer of Cactus League play. The non-roster invitee, who is 2-for-6 with a pair of extra-base hits and a stolen base this spring, appears to have the inside track on a starting outfield gig.

Parra signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of FancredSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parra was forced to settle for a minor-league deal after the Rockies declined his $12.5 million club option for 2019 earlier in the offseason. The Giants are thin across their outfield, so the veteran outfielder should be given the opportunity to compete for playing time during spring training. Parra owns a solid .296/.342/.411 triple-slash over the past two seasons (257 games).

The Rockies declined Parra's $12.5 million club option for 2019 on Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parra slashed .284/.342/.372 with six home runs and 11 stolen bases over 142 games for Colorado in 2018, but the team opted to utilize the $1.5 million buyout rather than pick up his club option. The 31-year-old had a .510 OPS in 103 plate appearances against left-handers and is likely to end up in a platoon role as he enters free agency.
