 Panik, 24, was named to the All-Star squad this year, and is hitting
.309 with seven homers as well as playing excellent defense.
Panik's last game before going on the disabled list was Aug. 1, at
which point the Giants were 57-46 and 1 1/2 games out of first place
in the National League West. In Panik's absence the Giants went
14-20 and entered Monday's action 7 1/2 games out of first.
Rookie Kelby Tomlinson was the primary replacement at second base in
Panik's absence and he hit .306 in the 30 games he played.

New York Mets right-hander Matt Harvey (12-7, 2.60 ERA), the subject
of much discussion on a possible innings limit, will face Washington
RHP Jordan Zimmermann (12-8, 3.38 ERA) in the second game of the
series Tuesday.
Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said Monday that Harvey may skip
multiple turns over the rest of the season.
Alderson suggested Harvey may make just two more starts before the
postseason begins, although he said there was no definite resolution
of how Harvey will be used.
He has pitched 166 1/3 innings so far.
