Josh Donaldson is back at third base and back in the fourth spot in the lineup. Also, Nick Markakis is taking a rare day off. This will be my time to remind you that since 2013, the lowest number of games that Nick Markakis has played in a season is 155. One. Fifty. Five. Anyways, current super-sub Charlie Culberson will be playing in right field this afternoon.
Here’s what the Giants will look like:

There’s a little bit of a shuffle with the return of Joe Panik to the lineup. Donovan Solano has gone from leading off last night to hitting in the eighth spot today. Brandon Belt is also back in their lineup as well. Plus you have to mention that Madison Bumgarner already has a dinger to his name this season. He’s not quite hitting at the same clip that he was a couple of years ago, but you know he’s going to try to swing away if he gets the chance.
