While Fitzgerald's injury appears to have been minor, it's worth monitoring as he ramps up his workload. With the Giants lacking clear alternatives at second base, he should have every opportunity to secure the starting role if he remains healthy throughout camp.

With the issue now behind him, Fitzgerald should be ready to appear in Cactus League games soon. He remains in the mix for a utility role with the Giants and could see time across multiple infield spots. While he doesn’t project as an everyday player, his versatility could make him a useful depth piece in deeper fantasy formats.

Tyler Fitzgerald will be held out of workouts for a few days due to a lower-back injury, per Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News. The Giants do not believe the issue is serious, and the team is being cautious with the 2025 season still weeks away.

Barring setbacks, Fitzgerald remains on track to open the season as San Francisco’s everyday second baseman. He was productive in 96 games last year, slashing .280/.334/.497 with 15 home runs and 17 steals. If he can stay healthy, he offers solid multi-category production and should be a valuable middle-infield option in fantasy leagues. Fantasy managers should monitor his status but shouldn’t overreact unless the injury lingers deeper into camp.
