Sits against southpaw Dickerson is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Athletics, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Three hits in win Dickerson went 3-for-5 with a double and two strikeouts in Wednesday's 9-3 extra-innings win over the Angels.

Impact The 31-year-old outfielder was productive at the plate in his first start since he was activated from the injured list. Dickerson served as the designated hitter for 12 innings before Wilmer Flores (hamstring) pinch hit for him in the 13th. Dickerson is now slashing .237/.303/.410 with six home runs, 22 RBI, 17 runs scored, a stolen base and four doubles through 152 plate appearances. He is expected to split time with Mike Tauchman in left field going forward, although both of them are left-handed batters.

Activated from injured list Dickerson (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Impact Dickerson will wind up missing just under two weeks with an upper-back strain. Prior to suffering the injury, he wasn't coming close to the .947 OPS he produced last year, struggling to a .693 mark. He was still starting every game against righties when healthy, however, so he'll likely return to a regular role for now. LaMonte Wade Jr. was optioned in a corresponding move.

Even if the 31-year-old is reinstated from the injured list Saturday, he could still receive some maintenance days in the near future to ease him back into action.
