PHILADELPHIA — After joining the Giants in Phoenix on June 21, slugger Alex Dickerson played a leading role in the team’s remarkable resurgence.
If the Giants hope to remain a factor in the National League Wild Card race, they’ll have to make do without Dickerson for at least the next 10 days.
Dickerson was placed on the injured list Thursday after a MRI revealed the outfielder has a mild right oblique strain. Instead of replacing him with another outfielder, the Giants promoted reliever Sam Selman to the major league roster prior to their series finale in Philadelphia.
