Giants' Alex Dickerson: Not returning Saturday

Dickerson (back) is unlikely to be activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports. The left fielder was expected to be activated Saturday, but that doesn't figure to happen as he's not in the lineup for the game against Philadelphia. It's not clear exactly when Dickerson will return, but all signs have pointed to him being very close to rejoining the Giants.

Alex Dickerson Placed on the 10-Day IL

Dickerson was forced to exit Tuesday’s game vs. the Rangers due to back tightness, and after the game, manager Gabe Kapler told reporters after the game that the issue isn’t serious. That said, Dickerson was placed on the 10-day IL on Wednesday. He’ll join Mike Yastrezmski on the sidelines, which leaves the team without two of their top left-handed hitters. Evan Longoria is also on the IL, so the team is thinner than usual in the infield.
