Patrick Bailey DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

San Francisco Giants catcher Patrick Bailey is taking the day off in Thursday's series finale against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks with left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez on the mound. Sam Huff will do the catching for right-hander Jordan Hicks and will bat seventh in the batting order. Bailey has had a rough go in the 2025 season to this point and is still searching for his first home run. The 25-year-old switch-hitting backstop has gone 20-for-112 (.179) with 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and a 40:7 K:BB in 38 games. He's gone 7-for-35 (.200) with two doubles, three RBI and 11 strikeouts in the last two weeks over 11 games. DFS managers should have better sleeper options than Huff at catcher. Huff has been just as bad as Bailey in 37 at-bats, hitting .189 with a homer and three RBI. The 27-year-old has never faced E-Rod in his career.

San Francisco Giants catcher Patrick Bailey is taking the day off for Wednesday's series finale at Wrigley Field against the hosting Chicago Cubs. Sam Huff is catching left-hander Robbie Ray and will hit eighth for the Gigantes against Cubs right-hander Ben Brown. It's a good time for San Fran to rest Bailey after he went 2-for-4 with three RBI in the team's 11-inning win over Chicago on Tuesday night. The 25-year-old switch-hitting backstop is still hitting under .200 on the season, though, with 19 hits in his 98 at-bats. Bailey has yet to homer, has drove in 12 runs and has scored 10 runs as the team's starting catcher. The good news is he's currently on a four-game hitting streak, going 6-for-14 with two doubles, three RBI and three runs scored. DFS gamers should be able to find better catcher sleepers on Wednesday than Huff. He's hitting .233 (7-for-30) with a homer and has never faced Brown in his career.

San Francisco Giants catcher Patrick Bailey (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Bailey is off to a terrible start to the season as he's slashing .155/.209/.226 with zero home runs and nine RBI this season. He is 1-for-14 at the plate over his last four games, so a day off looks like it's needed. Sam Huff will do the catching and bat eighth versus right-hander Antonio Senzatela on Friday. Neither player is really bringing enough to the plate right now to warrant rostering in fantasy formats.
