Jun 30 2025Fitzgerald was called up from Triple-A Sacramento prior to Monday's series opener with the Diamondbacks, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fitzgerald will officially return to the major-league roster after being sent down June 23. The 27-year-old will look to improve upon the .230/.289/.320 slash line he posted over 178 at-bats in 57 games with the Giants so far this season. Fitzgerald will replace Casey Schmitt (wrist) with the big-league club after Schmitt was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday.
Jun 23 2025The Giants optioned Fitzgerald to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fitzgerald is slashing only .127/.197/.145 in June and had seen his playing time dip with four starts over the last seven contests. He'll head to Sacramento, where he will try to get his swing in order. The Giants will go with a combination of Brett Wisely and Christian Koss at second base until Matt Chapman (hand) returns from the injured list, at which point Casey Schmitt is likely to shift over to the keystone.
Jun 20 2025Fitzgerald is not in the Giants' starting lineup against the Red Sox on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Fitzgerald has struggled at the plate in June, having gone 7-for-49 (.143) with two steals, two RBI and a 29.8 percent strikeout rate.
Jun 19 2025Fitzgerald is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fitzgerald will head to the bench for the second time in four contests while he slashed just .143/.218/.163 to begin June. Christian Koss will start at second base and bat ninth for the Giants in the series finale.
Jun 15 2025Fitzgerald is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Christian Koss will step in at second base while Fitzgerald gets the night off for what will be his first game out of the lineup since May 28. While starting in each of the Giants' last 15 games, Fitzgerald hit just .184 with zero home runs, three stolen bases, two runs and two RBI.
Jun 12 2025Fitzgerald went 0-for-3 with an RBI in Thursday's 8-7 loss to the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fitzgerald hit a sacrifice fly in the second inning, giving him an RBI in back-to-back games for the first time since April 16-17.

May 30 2025Fitzgerald went 3-for-4 with a double during Friday's 2-0 victory over the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fitzgerald delivered fantastic production out of the ninth spot in the lineup yet again for the Giants, picking up his third three-hit game of the season and snapping a three-game drought without a hit in the process. He also didn't strike out in a game for the first time in seven contests. Slashing .277/.333/.403 on the season, those are certainly not numbers typical of a batter hitting in the nine slot but that's where Fitzgerald has been used lately. Now, the 27-year-old will hope to discover his power stroke, lacking an extra-base hit in his last six games.
May 28 2025Fitzgerald is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Christian Koss will step in at the keystone and bat ninth versus Detroit righty Jackson Jobe in the series finale.

The 27-year-old has gone 3-for-10 with a double, a run scored and a 2:3 BB:K in that three-game span. He's now slashing .286/.350/.429 with two homers, five steals, 15 runs scored, seven RBI and an 8:23 BB:K across 102 plate appearances this season.
May 18 2025Fitzgerald isn't part of the starting nine for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

May 16 2025The Giants reinstated Fitzgerald (ribs) from the 10-day injured list Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fitzgerald landed on the 10-day IL in early May due to a left rib fracture. He went 3-for-10 with three RBI across three rehab outings with Triple-A Sacramento, and he's progressed enough in his recovery to return from the IL.

ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fitzgerald began his rehab assignment with Sacramento after being placed on the 10-day IL on May 1 due to a left rib fracture. The 27-year-old infielder hit leadoff and singled in the first inning before coming around to score. Barring any setbacks during his rehab assignment, Fitzgerald could return to the Giants later this week. He has played in 25 games in the majors this season, slashing .284/.341/.432 with 14 runs scored, seven RBI and five stolen bases across 90 plate appearances.
May 12 2025Fitzgerald (rib) could begin a rehab assignment as soon as Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fitzgerald appears to be progressing well as he works his way back from a left rib fracture, which he suffered in late April. The second baseman shouldn't need too many rehab games before being activated, so a return within the next week or so seems likely if he is indeed able to start his rehab assignment Tuesday.
May 5 2025Fitzgerald (rib) is doing light activities and rehab work, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Fitzgerald suffered a left rib fracture in late April and finally landed on the 10-day injured list on May 1 after tests revealed the diagnosis.

Fitzgerald had a MRI Thursday morning that revealed the fracture and expects to be out at least two weeks, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
