Availability
The Giants designated INF Tyler Fitzgerald for assignment.
Fantasy Impact
San Francisco needed to open a roster spot after trading for Dylan Smith from the Tigers. He will head to waivers as a result.
Utilityman Tyler Fitzgerald has been optioned to Triple-A Sacramento by the San Francisco Giants.
Fantasy Impact
Fitzgerald was attempting to break camp on the Giants' Opening Day roster, but the infielder went just 7-for-36 (.194) with a 14:0 K:BB ratio in 19 games this spring. Fitzgerald broke onto the scene in 2024, when he hit .280 with 15 home runs and 17 stolen bases in 96 games with the Giants. However, he could not repeat that success last season, hitting just .217 with four home runs in 72 games. He'll open the season with Triple-A Sacramento, but it's likely he'll be in a Giants' uniform at some point.
The San Francisco Giants optioned Tyler Fitzgerald to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
With Matt Chapman (hand) activated from the injured list, Fitzgerald has been sent back to the minors. Fitzgerald struggled during his time in the big leagues this season, posting a .217/.278/.327 slash line across 217 at-bats.
Tyler Fitzgerald was optioned back to Triple-A on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Fitzgerald was sent back to the minors for the second time this season after Casey Schmitt was activated from the IL on Monday. Following a breakout in 2024, it has been a disappointing season so far for Fitzgerald, as he has hit just .227 with a .620 OPS over 63 games for the Giants. The versatile 27-year-old did smack his third homer of the campaign Sunday to go along with nine stolen bases. Fitzgerald is likely the first call-up for the Giants should they need one going forward this season.
Tyler Fitzgerald went 1-for-4 with a home run on Sunday against the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
Fitzgerald extended the Giants lead to 6-1 in the eighth inning with a solo blast. It was his third blast on the season.
