Lands on injured list Dickerson was placed on the 10-day injured list with an upper back strain Wednesday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Dickerson left Tuesday's contest due to back tightness, and he's now been diagnosed with a strain. However, manager Gabe Kapler is optimistic that the 31-year-old won't require a long stint on the IL, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports. Mike Tauchman and Austin Slater could see increased time in left field in Dickerson's absence.

He seems to be going out of a prolonged slump that saw him go 0-for-13 between May 26 and June 1, as he has recorded three hits over his last five at-bats.

Impact Having started just two games against lefty pitchers all season, Dickerson sits against Andrew Heaney. The day off doesn't come at a terrible time for the 31-year-old, who's hitless with five strikeouts in his last 12 at-bats. Mike Tauchman fills in for Dickerson as the left fielder Tuesday.

Notches first stolen base Dickerson went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 8-5 extra-inning win over the Dodgers.
Impact In the sixth inning, the outfielder hit into a fielder's choice to get aboard. He then stole second base, his first steal in 42 games this year. Dickerson is slashing a meager .217/.274/.365 with four home runs, 18 RBI and 14 runs scored across 124 plate appearances. With both Dickerson and Mike Tauchman being left-handed batters, they may share time in left field until one of them goes on a tear.

Smacks two extra-base hits Dickerson went 2-for-5 with a double, a triple and two runs in Tuesday's 8-0 win over Arizona.
Impact Dickerson smashed a ground-rule double in the third inning and helped extend the Giants' lead in the ninth by hitting a leadoff triple and subsequently coming around to score. He'd gone a quiet 3-for-14 over his last five games, so this was a welcome performance for those rostering him in fantasy. Even so, he's still hitting a disappointing .228/.291/.366 on the year.
