Sitting against lefty Duggar is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact LaMonte Wade's (knee) placement on the injured list to begin the season has allowed Duggar to handle a near-everyday role through the Giants' first five games, but the latter will sit for the series finale in San Diego. Along with Duggar, fellow lefty-hitting regulars Mike Yastrzemski, Joc Pederson, Brandon Belt and Brandon Crawford (wrist) are sitting out Wednesday, as the Giants lean on a righty-heavy lineup to counter Padres southpaw Sean Manaea.

Potential depth outfielder Duggar is making a case to begin the year with the Giants, Alex Simon of the Mercury News reports.
Impact Manager Gabe Kapler likes Duggar for his defense and his speed, per Simon. The 28-year-old outfielder hasn't done much on offense this spring -- he's 2-for-15 with a home run, two walks, two RBI and three runs scored in six games. With LaMonte Wade (knee) set to miss the start of the season, Duggar is increasingly likely to make the Opening Day roster as a depth outfielder capable of playing all three positions. He'll also be a candidate as a pinch runner, though it's unlikely he works into a starting role without doing more at the plate.

Impact The outfielder ran for Tommy La Stella in the seventh inning. Duggar stole second and came around to score on a Kris Bryant sacrifice fly, which was all San Francisco needed to get the win.

Swats eighth homer Duggar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday in a loss to the Padres.
Impact Duggar entered the contest without a long ball since July 23, though he spent much of August in the minors. The 27-year-old registered one of four Giant homers in the loss, slugging a solo shot to right field in the seventh inning. Duggar has seen sporadic playing time this month and therefore isn't much of a factor in fantasy.
