Player Outlook
Patrick Bailey won his first Gold Glove last season for his stellar work behind the plate. He seemed to take a small step forward at the plate, too, even if the surface-level numbers wouldn't necessarily point to that. Bailey cut his strikeout rate from 28.3 percent to 22.3 percent while upping his walk rate (5.9 percent to 8.7 percent), hard-hit rate (38.4 percent to 43 percent) and average exit velocity (88.7 mph to 91.3 mph). The switch-hitting catcher cratered after the All-Star break for the second straight year and is now a career .179/.238/.238 hitter in the second half (versus a .287/.343/.454 line in the first half). While that might suggest more days off would be wise, you can understand why the Giants have been reluctant to take the defensive stalwart out of the lineup. One concern with Bailey is that he's already made three trips to the 7-day concussion injured list, including two in the first half last season. That batted-ball data points to more offensive promise that Bailey has shown so far, but he also might just be a better real-life player than fantasy player.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Remains on track for starting role

    Rotowire
    Bailey went 1-for 2 with a double and two RBI in Wednesday's 7-3 Cactus League loss to the Rangers. He is now batting .261 (6-for-23) with one home run and three RBI this spring. Bailey has registered a .261/.292/.435 slash line in nine appearances this spring, not particularly impressive numbers by Cactus League standards. The 25-year-old is set to serve as the club's everyday catcher after winning his first Gold Glove during the 2024 campaign, which was his second season in the majors. Over two seasons with the Giants, Bailey has recorded a middling .234/.292/.348 slash line.

The catcher has put together a middling year at the plate, slashing .234/.298/.339 with eight home runs, 46 RBI, 46 runs scored, 16 doubles and a triple over 121 contests. While he hasn't hit all that well, Bailey's elite pitch framing and arm have made him an essential part of the Giants' roster.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Returns from injured list

    Rotowire
    The Giants activated Bailey (oblique) from the 10-day injured list. He'll start at catcher and bat sixth in Thursday's game against the Brewers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Bailey missed the minimum 10 days with a strained oblique and will return without having gone on a rehab assignment. The switch-hitting catcher had been slashing just .057/.089/.075 in August prior to the injury. Andrew Knapp was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Lands on injured list

    Rotowire
    The Giants placed Bailey on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right oblique strain, retroactive to Aug. 19. After the team initially labeled Bailey's side injury as minor tightness, an MRI revealed Tuesday that the 25-year-old catcher suffered a strained oblique. Curt Casali will now take over as the Giants' primary catcher while Bailey is out, and Jakson Reetz will come up from Triple-A Sacramento to give the team some depth behind the plate.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Sitting again Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Bailey (side) isn't in the Giants' lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

While the Giants believe his injury is relatively minor, they'll send the 25-year-old backstop in for an MRI just to be safe, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area. In the meantime, Curt Casali will start behind the plate and bat ninth Tuesday.

  • Giants' Patrick Bailey: Believes injury is minor

    Rotowire
    Bailey (side) said after Monday's 5-3 win over the White Sox that he was scratched from the lineup for precautionary reasons, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports. The Giants are labeling Bailey as day-to-day with right side tightness, but the catcher's comments imply that he's avoided an oblique strain. Still, Bailey could be given another day off Tuesday, in which case Curt Casali would be in line for a start behind the plate.
