Giants' Michael Reed: Starting Opening Day

Reed will start in right field and bat seventh Thursday against the Padres, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Acquired via trade with the Twins less than a week ago, Reed will get the Opening Day nod after Mac Williamson (hand) was somewhat surprisingly DFA'd. Reed posted a healthy .342/.453/.520 line between Double-A and Triple-A last year and may end up playing pretty regularly, with Gerardo Parra and Connor Joe likely platooning at the other corner outfield spot.
