Joe Panik Placed on 10-Day DL with Thumb Injury

The San Francisco Giants placed second baseman Joe Panik on the 10-day disabled list Saturday with a sprained left thumb.

The 27-year-old infielder has been productive in parts of five MLB seasons thus far, but staying healthy has proved difficult.

After appearing in just 100 games in 2015 due primarily to a back injury, Panik missed some time in 2016 as well with a concussion. Panik was then limited to 138 games in 2017.

So far this season, Panik is hitting .267 with three home runs, five RBI and 11 runs in 23 games.
