Wade is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Arizona.
Southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez is on the hill for the Diamondbacks, so the left-handed-hitting Wade will yield to Mark Canha at first base. Though he's slashing .333/.439/.424 over 42 plate appearances versus lefties this season, Wade has just three starts against left-handers in 2024.

Giants' LaMonte Wade: Getting rest Saturday
Rotowire
Wade isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Wade will take a day to collect himself after going 0-for-8 with four strikeouts over his last two games. His absence will allow Mark Canha to pick up a start at first base while batting fifth.
Wade went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.
Wade jumped on a four-seamer from Kevin Ginkel in the bottom of the seventh and sent it into the stands for a two-run shot to pull the Giants back within two runs of Arizona. He then added a clutch two-run single in the ninth to once again cut the deficit to two runs, though his diligent effort would fall short. The long ball was Wade's sixth of the campaign, while his four RBI on the night marked a season high. It also marked the outfielder's first multi-hit performance since Aug. 23 against the Mariners.
