Giants' Drew Gilbert: Absent from Giants' lineup

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

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.
