Dickerson is not in the lineup Wednesday against Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Dickerson has gone 7-for-10 with three doubles and three RBI in two starts since returning from a minor back injury, but he'll retreat to the bench for Wednesday's series finale as the Giants look to ease him back into action. Austin Slater is starting in the outfield and hitting second in his place.

Winker is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Cubs.

Winker missed some time earlier in the week due to side tightness, but he returned to the starting lineup Tuesday, going 0-for-3 with a walk. He'll head back to the bench Wednesday as the Reds look to ease him back into action. Derek Dietrich is starting in left field and hitting fifth in his place.

Dickerson went 4-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-4 win over Colorado.

Dickerson hasn't skipped a beat since returning from his minor back injury, going a combined 7-for-10 with three doubles and three RBI in two starts. The 29-year-old has been playing every game like he's in Coors Field since joining the Giants, slashing .400/.471/.783 with four homers and 18 RBI over 67 plate appearances. Dickerson continues to start in right field and bat in the heart of the order against right-handed starters. It would be tough to ignore this kind of production in almost any format.

Harper went 2-for-3 with a home run, two walks and and five RBI in Tuesday's win over the Dodgers, including a walkoff, two-run double.

Harper crushed a 458-foot, three-run homer during the second inning and then came through in the ninth to save the Phillies after they blew the lead in the top of the frame. The former NL MVP is 6-for-19 with two doubles and a home run in the first five games out of the All-Star break.

Reyes went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Marlins.

Reyes was a late scratch from the Padres' lineup Tuesday for an unspecified reason. However, he seemed unhindered in his lone plate appearance late in the contest, smacking his 26th homer of the season. Still, his status for the remainder of the team's series against Miami remains unclear.

Ramirez went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and two RBI on Tuesday against the Padres.

Ramirez delivered early on in the contest, roping doubles in each of his first two plate appearances. The highlight came in the second inning when he doubled deep to right field to drive in both of his runs for the contest. Ramirez had been quiet at the dish since the All-Star break, collecting just one hit in eight at-bats prior to Tuesday's game. While he's hit for a strong .286 average across 210 plate appearances for the season, he has just a 3.8 percent walk rate and is slugging .392.

Winker (side) is back in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Cubs, batting leadoff.

In this case, the best-case scenario played out in regards to Winker's injury, and he's able to return to the lineup just two days after it occurred.

Carpenter was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right foot contusion Tuesday.

Carpenter left Monday's game in the middle of an at-bat after fouling a ball off his foot, and the issue is evidently serious enough to sideline him for at least 10 days. Edmundo Sosa was called up in a corresponding move and will likely fill a bench role, with Tommy Edman taking over at third base.

Reyes was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

The reason for the scratch is not yet clear. Josh Naylor takes over in right field in his absence and would be one of the primary beneficiaries (along with Wil Myers) should Reyes be forced to the injured list.

Carpenter (foot) isn't starting Tuesday against the Pirates.

Carpenter exited Monday night's series opener after fouling a ball off his own foot, and the issue is evidently still bothering him. The extent of the injury is not yet known, however. Tommy Edman will start at the hot corner and lead off in Carpenter's absence.
