Chase d’Arnaud had to respectfully decline an invitation to play in the Pacific Coast League All-Star Game because the Giants called him up from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

“I’ll take this over that,” d’Arnaud said, smiling.

A day after second baseman Joe Panik strained his left groin running the bases, he went on the 10-day disabled list and was replaced by the well-traveled d’Arnaud, 31, who’s in his sixth organization and has played every position in the big leagues except pitcher and catcher.
