Mon Aug 21 202317:00LaMonte Wade Jr. Back In Action For Giants
San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. (back) is playing first base and batting leadoff on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Aaron Nola. Wade was held out of the series finale against the Atlanta Braves with a back injury, but it wasn't serious and he'll be back in there to begin the week. The 29-year-old left-handed batter is hitting 1.000 in two career at-bats against Nola with two RBI. He has been San Francisco's primary starting first baseman this year against right-handers and is batting .259/.385/.414 with 12 home runs, 14 doubles, a triple, 34 RBI and 50 runs scored in 411 trips to the plate over 107 games.

Sat Aug 19 202321:42LaMonte Wade Jr. Exits Saturday's Game Early
San Francisco Giants first baseman/ outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (back) exited Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves with an apparent back injury. The 29-year-old was removed from Saturday's contest after grabbing his lower back after logging a base hit during the seventh inning. Wade has been dealing with ongoing back and side tightness all season. He went 2-for-4 with a solo home run before exiting. The severity of his injury is unknown at this time, and he is considered day-to-day. Casey Schmitt replaced Wade in Saturday's game and would see an uptick in at-bats if Wade were to miss any additional time.

Wed Aug 16 202314:22LaMonte Wade Jr., Patrick Bailey On The Bench Wednesday
San Francisco Giants outfielder/first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. and rookie catcher Patrick Bailey are both taking the day off on Wednesday against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays. Wilmer Flores will draw the start at the cold corner and will hit third, while Blake Sabol will do the catching and bat sixth in the order against Rays right-hander Aaron Civale. Wade could use a day of rest, as he's gone 9-for-50 (.180) with two homers, a double, four RBI, 13 strikeouts and six runs scored in 15 games (13 starts) since July 26. Bailey, meanwhile, has been hot in August so far, going 11-for-38 (.290) with a homer, a double, eight RBI and five runs scored in 13 games (11 starts). The 24-year-old switch-hitting backstop is batting .263 (61-for-232) with six homers, 39 RBI and 22 runs scored for the Giants in his first 68 big-league games.

San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. The 29-year-old has recovered from his back issues, which is good news for fantasy managers. However, the left-handed slugger will sit out on Saturday with left-hander James Paxton on the mound for Boston. The Giants will play matchups here and give Wade the day off. In his absence, Austin Slater will cover left field, while Wilmer Flores plays first base on Saturday.

Sat Jul 29 202310:51LaMonte Wade Jr. Dealing With Back Problem
San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. (back) was out of Friday's lineup versus the Boston Red Sox due to back tightness. It leaves the 29-year-old questionable for Saturday's meeting. With Boston throwing left-handed pitcher James Paxton for that one, however, it's fair to believe Wade could start on the bench anyway. The righty-mashing Wade is hitting just .214 with a .601 OPS in 56 at-bats against lefties this year. Fantasy managers will have to check back closer to Saturday's game time for another update. Wade owns just one RBI over 68 ABs overall since June 19.

Fri Jul 21 202318:25LaMonte Wade Jr. Returning On Friday
San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. (hamstring) is returning to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. He was pulled out of Tuesday's game due to hamstring cramps. He sat out the next two games as a precaution, but appears to be fine now. The 29-year-old will bat leadoff and cover first base versus right-hander Jake Irvin on Friday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with Wade returning.

Wed Jul 19 202300:11LaMonte Wade Jr. Exits Early Tuesday With Hamstring Cramping
San Francisco Giants first baseman/outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (hamstring) exited Tuesday's 11-10 win over the Reds in the bottom of the fourth inning with left hamstring cramping, per KNBR's Danny Emerman. Wade went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before being replaced at first base. The 29-year-old has dealt with several serious injuries throughout his career, so it is encouraging to hear that this may be minor. Wade Jr. has been a useful fantasy asset this season, slashing .274/.405/.432 with nine home runs and 28 RBI. He should be considered day-to-day at this time and fantasy managers should keep an eye out for more news tomorrow.

Although he did not receive credit for an RBI due to the error, he managed to get a base hit in the seventh inning. By the end of the day, he was slashing .279/.410/.446. Additionally the 29-year-old has cracked nine home runs, scored 40 runs, and recorded 28 RBI across 312 plate appearances.

San Francisco Giants outfielder/first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. (back) is out for Sunday's meeting with the Mets. The 29-year-old was available on Friday for the series opener. However, he is dealing with back discomfort and hasn't been in the lineup since. There should be an update on Wade's status before Monday's matchup versus the Seattle Mariners. But for now, Wilmer Flores, who had a home run on Friday, will handle things at first base.

Sat Jul 1 202316:49LaMonte Wade Jr. Absent On Saturday
San Francisco Giants outfielder/first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. (back) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the New York Mets. This doesn't sound like a serious issue, but Wade will get some extra time off for precautionary reasons. It appears the 29-year-old is dealing with back discomfort, but it shouldn't be something that lands him a trip to the injured list. Fantasy managers should expect him back in the lineup within the next few days.

Sun Jun 25 202314:10LaMonte Wade Jr. Not In Sunday's Lineup
San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against Ryne Nelson and the Arizona Diamondbacks. The slugger started the past two games after missing three contests with a side injury, but he left Saturday's game prematurely. Fantasy managers should stay updated on Wade Jr.'s status. Instead, Isan Diaz will take his place in the lineup, playing third and batting ninth. The 27-year-old has no hits through four plate appearances this season and owns a .183/.272/.284 career slash line over 146 games. Diaz is irrelevant in just about every format, as there are much better options on the waiver wire.

Fri Jun 23 202320:13LaMonte Wade Jr. Back In Giants Lineup
San Francisco Giants first baseman/outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (side) is back in the starting lineup on Friday and is starting at first base and batting leadoff against right-hander Zach Davies and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Fantasy managers will get Wade back after he missed the last three games due to right-side tightness. The 29-year-old left-hander should be returned to starting lineups in most fantasy leagues, as he's hit a strong .280 (61-for-218) with nine home runs, 27 RBI and 38 runs scored in 68 games (272 plate appearances) in 2023. Wade has been great in June, too, with a .308 average (16-for-52) with two homers, five doubles, 11 RBI and 13 runs scored in 14 games played.

Wed Jun 21 202321:00LaMonte Wade Jr. Hopes To Return Thursday
San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. (side) is not in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday night against the San Diego Padres, but he said he's feeling better and is hoping to return to the lineup on Thursday. He could also be available off the bench as a pinch-hitter on Wednesday. The 29-year-old is dealing with right-side tightness and had an MRI exam on Wednesday, but his injury is obviously not too serious. Consider him day-to-day for now. Wade has been solid for the Gigantes and fantasy managers with a .280 average (61-for-218) this year with nine home runs, 11 doubles, one triple, 27 RBI and 38 runs scored in 272 plate appearances and 68 games. David Villar is back at first base on Wednesday and is hitting seventh against Padres right-hander Yu Darvish.

San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. (side) was scratched from Tuesday's lineup after experiencing right-side soreness, according to Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com. David Villar will take his spot in the infield and bat ninth. Wade Jr. is in the midst of his best season with the bat, slashing .280/.415/.463 with nine homers, 38 runs, 27 RBI, and a pair of steals over 68 games. Those numbers are solid in every format, so hopefully, this move was just a precaution. Fantasy managers should consider Wade Jr. day-to-day and check back in for more updates.

Sun Jun 18 202309:35LaMonte Wade Jr. Continues Breakout Campaign
San Francisco Giants first baseman/outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. went 3-for-5 with one home run, five RBI, and a walk in the team's 15-0 bludgeoning of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday. The 29-year-old is setting the table and hitting for power at a high clip of late. Wade is slashing a pleasant .321/.435/.554 with two homers, 10 RBI, and 10 free passes over his last 56 at-bats with help from this explosion. The southpaw trails just hitting-machine Luis Arraez with a .416 on-base percentage overall (211 ABs) in 2023. Wade's lack of speed and RBI potential from the leadoff spot generally make him a borderline fantasy option, but fantasy managers could find much worse than the righty masher.

Tue May 23 202309:13LaMonte Wade Jr. Exits Monday's Game
San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. (thumb) was removed from Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins in the ninth inning after jamming his thumb. Before his exit, he was 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored, helping his team to a 4-1 victory. According to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, manager Gabe Kapler told reporters after the game that it doesn't look like a serious injury, and the move was just a precaution. Wade Jr. is putting up solid numbers for the Giants, slashing .252/.421/.465 with seven homers, 22 runs, 15 RBI, and one steal across 45 games. Fantasy managers should consider the 29-year-old day-to-day, and chances are, he misses the injured list.

Sun May 21 202314:09LaMonte Wade Jr. On The Bench Sunday
San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. is taking a seat on the bench Sunday for the matchup with the Miami Marlins. The lefty swinger has been solid with the bat, slashing .260/.428/.480 with seven bombs, 21 runs, 15 RBI, and one steal across 43 games. Wade Jr. isn't in a platoon, but it's a good time to give him a day off with southpaw Jesus Luzardo on the bump, considering his .222 average off of lefties. Wilmer Flores will be responsible for first base duties and bat lead-off instead. The 31-year-old has continued his underrated production this year, hitting .248 with six long balls through 35 contests. Flores kills left-handed pitching, exhibited by his .876 OPS, so it's a perfect time to stream the former New York Met.

Tue May 2 202312:33LaMonte Wade Jr. Hits Sixth Homer Monday
San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. stayed hot in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Houston Astros by going 2-for-3 with his sixth home run of the season, an RBI, two runs scored and a walk. Wade is currently riding a modest six-game hitting streak that has brought his season slash line up to .260/.443/.575 with an impressive 1.019 OPS. He's also added three doubles, one triple, six home runs, nine RBI, a stolen base and 12 runs scored in 98 plate appearances over his 26 games to begin the 2023 campaign. Keep riding the 29-year-old's left-handed bat, especially when he's hitting at the top of San Fran's batting order against right-handed pitching.
