Kris Bryant is out of the starting lineup Friday for the Giants

Kris Bryant is out of the starting lineup Saturday for the Giants, BaseballPress.com reports. The Giants are likely just giving Bryant what might be his last game off before the playoffs start. The Giants magic number to clinch the National League West is two games which means any combination of wins by the Giants or losses by the Dodgers that adds up to two, and the Giants win the division.

The Giants are likely to give many of their regulars a day off in this series versus the Padres. Should the Giants win the division, they will play the winner in the Wild Card game between the Dodgers and Cardinals.
