Still out Sunday Wade (side) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers.

Won't start Saturday Wade (side) will sit Saturday against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Wade was scratched Friday with tightness in his left side. It's possible that's the reason for his absence Saturday, but he was likely always going to sit against southpaw Julio Urias, so it isn't entirely clear if the injury is still bothering him. J.D. Davis will start at first base Saturday while Heliot Ramos starts in right field, the two spots Wade has most frequently occupied.

Goes yard in Wednesday's loss Wade went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Over his last nine games, Wade has gone 7-for-22 (.318) with five homers and two doubles. That burst of power has lifted his season slash line to .202/.318/.477 with eight long balls, 22 RBI, 15 runs scored, four doubles and a triple through 130 plate appearances. With Luis Gonzalez optioned to Triple-A Sacramento, there's more playing time to be had in right field, and it appears Wade should be a fixture there versus right-handed pitchers. He could also see more chances against southpaws, but he only has a .174 OPS in 18 plate appearances against lefties this year.

Swats three-run homer Wade went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Pirates.

Impact Wade helped the Giants jump out to an early lead with his second-inning homer. This was his fourth long ball in his last seven contests, and he's added seven RBI and six runs scored in that span. He's showing some signs of life at the plate, but he's still slashing a meager .200/.315/.457 with seven homers, 21 RBI, 14 runs scored, four doubles and a triple through 125 plate appearances.

Flexes power in win Wade went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored, a double and a walk in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Pirates.

Impact Wade went yard off former Giant Tyler Beede in the third inning, which was the last run in this low-scoring contest. Through nine contests in August, Wade has gone 5-for-18 (.278), though all of those hits have gone for extra-bases (three homers, two doubles). The 28-year-old's batting average reached .200 for the first time since July 7 with this multi-hit effort, and he's added a .759 OPS, six long balls, 18 RBI, 13 runs scored, four doubles and a triple through 120 plate appearances this year.

Out against lefty Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact The lefty-hitting Wade will find himself on the bench with southpaw Sean Manaea taking the hill for San Diego. Wade had made each of his last three starts as the Giants' designated hitter, but he may not have a clear path to a regular lineup spot now that Evan Longoria has returned from the injured list. The Giants could open up room in the corner outfield for Wade if they decide to cut bait on Luis Gonzalez, who enters Wednesday's contest having gone 0-for-17 over his last five starts.

Opens scoring Tuesday Wade went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Padres.

Impact Wade has gone yard twice in his last three games, an encouraging uptick after he hit the same number of homers in 20 contests in July. The 28-year-old's first-inning blast was the Giants' only run until they rallied for three more in the ninth. Through 113 plate appearances, Wade is slashing .189/.310/.400 with five homers, 17 RBI and 11 runs scored. He's often been the odd man out in the Giants' lefty-heavy outfield when a southpaw starts for the opponent.
