Impact Duggar had hit just .200 since the All-Star break, and he had been out of the lineup in each of the last two games. He'll attempt to turn things around in the minors, while Austin Slater and Alex Dickerson will likely see increased playing time in the outfield following Duggar's demotion.

Sitting second straight Duggar is not starting Friday against the Brewers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Duggar will sit for the second straight game against a right-handed starter as he continues to struggle through a 4-for-26 skid at the plate. The outfielder is slashing a solid .267/.340/.442 on the campaign, but he could see less consistent playing time down the stretch, especially considering that Kris Bryant will likely be seeing time in the outfield when Evan Longoria (shoulder) is activated in the near future.
