Basabe isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Basabe will step out of the starting nine Thursday after going 1-for-5 during San Francisco's last series against the Reds. Nate Furman will start at second base while Basabe is on the bench, and Shay Whitcomb will get the nod at third.
