Sitting after six straight starts Gilbert is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

On the season, the rookie outfielder is hitting .190 with one home run, seven RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base across 42 plate appearances. He's also struck out 10 times and has yet to draw a walk. Gilbert figures to continue functioning as a fourth outfielder unless injuries open up more playing time.

Moving into reserve role Gilbert is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Gilbert is absent from the lineup for the fourth time in five games and appears to have faded into a reserve role after slashing just .107/.107/.214 through his first 28 plate appearances in the majors since getting called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Aug. 8. Luis Matos will stick in the starting nine for the fourth consecutive game and appears to have overtaken Gilbert as the Giants' preferred option in right field.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from Giants' lineup Gilbert is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in San Diego.

Impact It's righty Dylan Cease on the bump for the Padres, but the left-handed-hitting Gilbert will nevertheless begin the festivities on the bench. He's just 3-for-24 with a 7:0 K:BB to begin his big-league career. Luis Matos will patrol right field for San Francisco.

Launches first homer Gilbert went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 7-1 win against Tampa Bay.

Impact The rookie outfielder garnered the start in right field and logged his first long ball with a 384-foot solo shot off Rays reliever Mason Englert in the seventh. Gilbert then returned in the eighth to knock home an additional run on a single. The first 22 plate appearances of the 24-year-old's career have been rough with a .136/.136/.237 slash line and six strikeouts without a walk, as he entered Sunday with just one hit. Gilbert is currently stuck in a part-time role but perhaps this performance can gain him additional playing time.
