San Francisco

Giants

There was optimism Lee would be ready to return this weekend, but it sounds like he’s going to get some extra time to rest and recover from some lingering foot soreness. The positive news here is that the 25-year-old rookie outfielder hasn’t landed on the injured list, but he’s out of the lineup for a third straight contest. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It’ll be Tyler Fitzgerald drawing another start in center field.

Wisely provides San Francisco with some extra bench depth heading into Saturday’s contest against the Reds with veteran Austin Slater landing on the concussion injured list. The 25-year-old got into 51 contests last year for the Giants, but has spent all of this season back at Triple-A Sacramento.

Bailey is back for Saturday’s showdown against the Reds following a one-week absence following an early exit from a game due to blurred vision. The 24-year-old backstop has cleared concussion protocol and will return to his role as San Francisco’s starting catcher.

Reetz heads back to the minors with starting backstop Patrick Bailey set to return from a one-week absence due to a concussion. The 28-year-old journeyman went 1-for-10 with a solo homer in four contests for San Francisco in his first trip back to the majors since 2021.

No surprise here after Slater was lifted from Friday’s game against the Reds with concussion-like symptoms. He’ll presumably need to clear concussion protocol before he’s ready to return next weekend.

Estrada pounced on an Andrew Abbott offering in the first inning for his sixth homer and 21st RBI of the 2024 campaign. It was the only hit of the game for the infielder, and his slash of .248/.276/.434 leaves a bit to be desired.

Webb was much better than his middling start Sunday against the Phillies, but unfortunately it does result in another loss for the 27-year-old. The right-hander gave up eight hits with two walks, and he struck out six. A solid effort, and it lowers his ERA to 3.38 on the season. The Dodgers come next for Webb.

The 31-year-old outfielder crashed into the outfield wall in the first inning on Friday. It looks extremely likely that he’ll be placed on the concussion injured list on Saturday and will have to pass through the concussion protocol before he’s able to return to action.

Slater sustained the injury when he crashed into the outfield wall during the first inning on Friday. He remained in the game until his spot in the order came around to hit, where Michael Conforto pinch-hit for him. Presumably he’ll head for X-rays to see if there’s any structural damage. Expect the Giants to update his status after the game.

The 24-year-old backstop caught a bullpen session for Blake Snell on Friday without any issues, which was the final hurdle to clear before returning. Expect Jakson Reetz to be optioned back to Triple-A Sacramento to clear a spot on the active roster.
