Heads to bench vs. righty Slater is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Diamondbacks, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact After being reinstated from the injured list, Slater served as the Giants' designated hitter and leadoff man both of the past two days, going a combined 2-for-9 with a double and a run. Both of those starts came versus left-handed pitching, but he'll retreat to the bench with a right-hander (Zac Gallen) on the hill for Arizona in the series finale.

Heading to injured list Slater (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list with a mild left groin strain, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Slater left Friday's game without making it through the first as it was later diagnosed as a left groin strain for the 27-year-old. Slater has been a pleasant surprise for the Giants at the plate this season, hitting .347/.458/.653 with four home runs and six RBI across 59 plate appearances while also adding six stolen bases to his repertoire. Although this is Slater's first trip to the injured list in 2020, the outfielder has already missed some time this season with a right elbow flexor strain as injuries keep intruding on what has been a breakout season thus far for Slater.

It's unclear at this time whether Slater will be cleared to play in the second game of the series Tuesday against the Angels.
