Manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday that Pagan will get the day off Sunday and will likely be rested at least one game per week down the stretch, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The Giants are nearing the end of a lengthy road trip, and with the upcoming off-day Monday, Bochy will give the veteran outfielder an extra day of rest by leaving him out of the lineup Sunday. The fact that he will miss one game a week moving forward will have a negative impact on his value in leagues where lineups are set on a weekly basis.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Angel Pagan, who has dealt with knee problems throughout the season, will be rested at least one day per week in the last six weeks of the season, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Pagan (knee) will return to the lineup with the Giants on Thursday.

Pagan has dealt with knee issues throughout the season, but said he has no intention of going on the disabled list as a result of the ailment. "I want to go out there every day,” Pagan told the San Francisco Chronicle. “I’ve been an everyday player, but because of this circumstance, I have to take a couple of days off so I can get the proper rest. If it was under my control, I’d go out every day and play. I’m always going to play until the wheels fall off. My right knee’s been nagging. It’s bothered me for a while, pretty much the whole season, but I’ve been able to go out there and try to be consistent."

Pagan (knee) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Braves.

Wednesday's absence marks Pagan's third straight as a result of knee soreness. He did make a pinch-hit appearance in Monday's game after being scratched from the lineup, which would seem to suggest the team does not view this as a DL situation, but Pagan's availability for Thursday and the rest of the Cubs series is uncertain.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Angel Pagan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves because of a knee injury, according to the team's official website.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Angel Pagan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves because of a knee injury, according to the team's official website.

Pagan will be replaced in center field by Gregor Blanco, who will slot in second behind Norichika Aoki in the Giants' batting order. While he will miss Monday's contest, it sounds as though the injury may just be minor. If that's the case, the veteran outfielder likely remains day-to-day.

Pagan is not in the lineup Wednesday.

It looks like a scheduled day off for Pagan, who will cede center field duties to Gregor Blanco. Pagan has started every game since July 10 and holds a .274 average with six RBI on the month.

Pagan reached base four times Friday, collecting three hits, a run, and an RBI in the win over the Athletics.

Pagan has been seeing the ball well recently, batting .348 with eight runs and six RBI over his last 10 games. His overall numbers have been disappointing on the year, as he has yet to hit a home run, but the real concern is his significant dip in stolen bases (five steals through 88 games). The drop-off in speed is what keeps Pagan from being the multi-category contributor he was over the past three seasons with San Francisco.

Pagan returned to the lineup, batting leadoff and going 3-for-6 with a double, three runs, and a pair of RBI in the win over the Phillies.

Pagan received a day off Wednesday after a 1-for-12 cold spell, and that coupled with the extra rest of an off day on Thursday rejuvenated the veteran's bat. His season-to-date has been a disappointment, but Friday's big day at the plate could thaw Pagan's bat. He still has deep league value, but those in mixed leagues should monitor him in the coming days, as he has a tendency to be a streaky hitter.

Pagan is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Mets.

Pagan will receive a day off Wednesday after going just 1-for-12 over the past three games. Gregor Blanco slides over from left field to start in his place, while Justin Maxwell enters the lineup in left field, batting eighth for the Giants.

Pagan (knee) returned to the lineup Sunday, batting leadoff and going 1-for-4 with his fifth stolen base of the season.

Pagan missed Saturday's contest with a sore knee, but made his return to the lineup after missing just one game. The fact that he swiped a bag in his first game back is a good sign that Pagan is back at 100-percent. The Giants are going to need Pagan to produce atop the lineup with both Nori Aoki (leg) and Hunter Pence (arm) sidelined.

Pagan is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals, according to Amy Gutierrez of CSN Bay Area.

Pagan has dealt with a sore knee of late, and is just 1-for-8 in his career against Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg, so he will be held out Saturday. Gregor Blanco will replace Pagan both in center field and atop the Giants' batting order.

Pagan will receive a regular maintenance day for an early-afternoon game following a night contest. Gregor Blanco will get the nod in center field and bat leadoff in the order, with Brandon Belt in left and Justin Maxwell in center. The outfielder has struggled to find his stroke at the plate this year, batting just .181 in the month of June. He did collect two hits in Wednesday's contest, however.
