ALEX DICKERSON NEWS

Swats three-run homer Dickerson went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Phillies.

Impact Dickerson was quiet most of the game but came up big in the eighth when he demolished a three-run homer to right to give the Giants their first lead of the night at 7-6. The 31-year-old is slashing just .190/.277/.405 with three home runs, eight RBI and five runs scored, but has hit safely in four of the last five games and seems to finally be finding some consistency as the plate.

Plates lone run of game Dickerson went 1-for-3 with an RBI against the Marlins on Sunday.

Impact Dickerson has been struggling for most of the campaign and entered this game with only one hit in his previous 12 at-bats, but he was the Giants' hero Sunday after plating the game's lone run with an RBI single that scored Tommy La Stella. The veteran outfielder only has six hits this season, however, and his struggles make him a low-end fantasy asset at this point.

Homers as pinch hitter Dickerson hit a solo home run in his only at-bat in Thursday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.

Impact Dickerson pinch hit for Austin Slater in the ninth inning. The move worked, as Dickerson's homer tied the game at 7-7, forcing an extra inning. The 30-year-old outfielder hit 10 homers and slashed .298/.371/.576 in 52 games last season as a near-everyday presence in the Giants' lineup. He figures to work the strong side of a platoon in left field, while Slater will often start against southpaws.

MARCH 18, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Slow going in spring Dickerson is 2-for-12 with two runs, three walks and one stolen base through six spring games.

Impact The 30-year-old is still seeing the ball well as the three walks suggest, but he otherwise hasn't found much success early in camp. Dickerson posted an impressive .298/.371/.576 slash line with 10 homers, 10 doubles and 27 RBI in 52 games last season, though he had only 12 plate appearances against left-handed pitching. He could open 2021 working on the strong side of a platoon in left field, which would still afford him plenty of opportunities.

OF Dickerson, Giants agree on $2.1 M, one-year contract

Outfielder Alex Dickerson agreed to a $2.1 million, one-year contract Wednesday with the San Francisco Giants for the 2021 season to avoid salary arbitration

DECEMBER 3, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Avoids arbitration with Giants Dickerson signed a one-year, $2.1 million deal with the Giants on Wednesday to avoid arbitration, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact The 30-year-old had a .298/.371/.576 slash line with 10 homers, 10 doubles and 27 RBI over 52 games during the 2020 campaign, so it's not a surprise to see San Francisco bringing him back at such a modest price. Dickerson had only 12 plate appearances against left-handed pitching last season, and he's a strong bet to work in the strong side of a platoon in left field again in 2021.
