Bryce Eldridge dropped to sixth in Giants lineup

Bryce Eldridge

SF Designated Hitter #8

Player Stats

Bryce Eldridge has been dropped to sixth in the Giants lineup for Saturday’s game against the Braves.

Since delivering his walkoff grand slam against the Nationals on June 10, Eldridge had hit second in 11 of the Giants’ last 12 games and third in the other. He homered again in the first of those games, but in the last 11, he’s hit .179/.319/.282. As a result, he’s back down to sixth today. Casey Schmitt is batting second, and Jung Hoo Lee has been moved up to third. Eldridge should stay in the Giants lineup against righties after Heliot Ramos is activated from the IL, something that’s supposed to happen within the next couple of days, but he’ll probably start doing some sitting against lefties. He could cease being worthy of a roster spot in shallow leagues.

Bryce Eldridge went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer against the Brewers on Tuesday.

Eldridge prevented the Giants from getting shut out on Tuesday, taking Grant Anderson deep for a two-run homer in the eighth inning. It was the 11th home run of the season for the 21-year-old slugger. He’s slashing a solid .256/.356/.463 with 33 runs scored and 25 RBI across 264 plate appearances while displaying impressive hard-hit and barrel rates that make him a young power-hitter on the rise.
Jung Hoo Lee

SF Right Fielder #51

Jung Hoo Lee (elbow) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Brewers.

Lee is back patrolling right field and hitting fifth following a two-game absence due to elbow soreness after being hit by a pitch over the weekend. The 27-year-old has delivered a strong .302 batting average with six homers and six steals through 96 games this season.
Jung Hoo Lee

SF Right Fielder #51

Jung Hoo Lee (elbow) remains out of the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Brewers.

Lee will sit out a second straight contest with right elbow soreness after being hit by a pitch over the weekend. The 27-year-old outfielder isn’t dealing with any structural issues and should be ready to return at some point this week. He’s been a strong fantasy contributor in the batting average department, hitting .302 through 96 games. He’s also chipped in six homers and six steals as well. It’ll be Grant McCray in right field on Monday night in his place.
Jung Hoo Lee

SF Right Fielder #51

Jung Hoo Lee (elbow) was held out of the Giants’ starting lineup on Sunday after being hit by a pitch during Saturday’s game.

He’s not dealing with any structural issues, but is still feeling a bit sore after being plunked on Saturday evening so he’ll get a day off to rest. Grant McCray will start in his place in right field and will bat ninth for the Giants against Jose Soriano and the Angels on Sunday afternoon in San Francisco.
Jung Hoo Lee

SF Right Fielder #51

Jung Hoo Lee went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI against the Angels on Saturday.

Lee extended the Giants’ lead in the third inning, highlighting a five-run frame with a three-run blast off Ryan Johnson for his sixth home run of the year. He then added a double in the fifth and was hit by a pitch in the seventh. The 27-year-old outfielder is hitting .302/.336/.435 with six homers, 51 runs scored, 37 RBI, and six steals across 384 plate appearances.
Bryce Eldridge

SF Designated Hitter #8

Bryce Eldridge went 2-for-3 with his eighth homer and two walks Thursday in leading the Giants past the Rockies 8-2.

Eldridge had three of the four hardest-hit balls of the game, coming in at 106.1 mph on his homer in the fourth, 108.5 mph on a lineout in the fifth and 108.1 mph on a single in the eighth. Hopefully, it means he’s escaping the drought that saw him hit .177 with one homer in his previous 17 games. That previous homer also came against Rockies pitching.
Jung Hoo Lee

SF Right Fielder #51

Jung Hoo Lee is absent from the Giants’ starting lineup for Thursday’s series opener against the Rockies.

Lee has been in a bit of a funk at the plate, going just 7-for-44 with one extra-base hit over his last 12 games, so the Giants will give him a night off to clear his head. Drew Gilbert will start in his place in center field and will bat eighth for the Giants against Ryan Feltner and the Rockies.
Jung Hoo Lee

SF Right Fielder #51

Jung-Hoo Lee went hitless in a second straight game Wednesday to finish the series against the Blue Jays 1-for-11.

Lee took over as the major league leader in average for a brief spell last month, peaking at .333, but he’s just 7-for-44 with one extra-base hit and one walk in his last 12 games. Given that he’s not big with the homers or steals, he needs to hit over .300 to be of any real use in shallow leagues. He’s still at .311 right now, but Statcast thinks he’s been kind of lucky. He currently has a .327 BABIP, but he’s not hitting the ball any harder than last year, when he posted a .291 BABIP and batted .266.
Bryce Eldridge

SF Designated Hitter #8

Bryce Eldridge went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI to lead the Giants to a 6-4 win over the Rockies on Saturday.

Eldridge doubled to drive in a run in the first inning, then took Sean Sullivan deep for a solo homer in the third. It was a 458-foot shot to right field. The 21-year-old slugger is up to seven homers, 24 runs scored, and 19 RBI while slashing .280/.368/.484 across 185 plate appearances.
Bryce Eldridge

SF Designated Hitter #8

Bryce Eldridge is not in the Giants’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s tilt against the Braves.

If you’re going to have to take a day off on occasion, doing so against Chris Sale isn’t the worst idea in the world. Heliot Ramos will function as the Giants’ designated hitter in his place on Sunday while Victor Bericoto draws a start in right field and will bat eighth for the Giants.

Tigers optioned RHP Brenan Hanifee to Triple-A Toledo.

Hanifee has posted a 3.98 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and an 8/6 K/BB ratio across 20 1/3 innings in 21 appearances with the Tigers this season. He’ll head out to make room for Enmanuel De Jesus in the club’s bullpen as the Tigers wanted an extra left-hander to battle the Athletics over the weekend. Hanifee should get another chance with the big league club before the summer is through.

Mariners placed INF J.P. Crawford on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 30, with left wrist inflammation.

This move doesn’t come as a major surprise as Crawford missed the team’s previous two games with the injury and there were indications that a stint on the injured list was coming if he wasn’t ready to go by Friday. Leo Rivas was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.

The 26-year-old hurler was claimed off of waivers from the Nationals just prior to the All-Star break, but the Tigers needed the 40-man roster spot for the arrival of Max Clark on Friday. It’s possible that Granillo will attract interest on waivers once again.

Tigers selected the contract of OF Max Clark from Triple-A Toledo.

As expected, Clark joins the Tigers for Friday’s series opener against the Athletics. The 21-year-old outfielder has hit .277/.368/.427 with 10 homers and 21 stolen bases over 89 games at the Triple-A level this season. His dynamic skillset makes him an intriguing mixed league fantasy option right out of the gate.
