Eligibility
David Villar is in the Giants' starting lineup Tuesday against the Padres.
Fantasy Impact
Villar is replacing LaMonte Wade Jr. who was scratched from the original lineup. The 26-year-old enters Tuesday's game with a .154/.239/.346 slash line with five home runs, 12 RBI, and one stolen base in 37 games this season.
Giants infielder David Villar is in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
Villar was brought up from the minors after J.D. Davis suffered an ankle sprain in the club's 11-3 win over the Cardinals on Tuesday night. The 26-year-old struggled earlier in the season with the Giants, hitting just .135 with four homers, one steal, and a .514 OPS across 108 trips to the plate.
Giants manager Gabe Kapler said David Villar is set to be recalled from the minors after both Mitch Haniger and J.D. Davis suffered significant injuries on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
It was a costly 11-3 win for the Giants on Tuesday and Villar will be one of two players promoted from the minors as a result. The 26-year-old hit just .135 with four homers with the Giants in 108 plate appearances this season but also hit .299 with four homers across 78 trips to the plate at Triple-A before re-joining the big club.
David Villar went 1-for-3 at the plate for the Giants Saturday, blasting a solo home run in a 16-11 loss to the Padres.
Fantasy Impact
Villar has struggled at the plate for the Giants, collecting hits in just two of his last seven games for the club. The 26-year-old has offered minimal value for fantasy managers this season, batting just .156 with four home runs, 10 runs scored, and 11 runs batted in so far this season.
David Villar went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a solo home run in Monday's 12-3 win over the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact
Villar exploded in Monday's blowout win, pacing the San Francisco offense with a whopping five RBIs. The infielder had just nine long balls all season in 2022, so a game like this is a pleasant surprise. Fantasy managers should wait to see if Villar can find some consistency before considering picking him up.
