Tyler Fitzgerald DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

San Francisco Giants second baseman Tyler Fitzgerald remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers. The 27-year-old was scratched on Saturday with a chest contusion that he suffered making a diving play on a grounder the night before and will now miss his second straight contest. Fantasy managers should still consider the right-handed hitter day-to-day. Christian Koss will fill in at second base and bat ninth on Sunday. Koss went 1-for-3 with a run scored on Saturday against the Rangers and will face RHP Jack Leiter on Sunday.

San Francisco Giants second baseman Tyler Fitzgerald was scratched from Saturday's game against the Rangers with a chest contusion. The injury happened when attempting to make a diving play on a ground ball during Friday's contest, but he remained in the game, so consider him day-to-day for now. The 27-year-old is off to a good start to the year, slashing .289/.341/.447 with seven extra-base hits (two HR), seven RBI, 13 runs scored, and five stolen bases, along with a .347 wOBA and 123 wRC+. Fantasy managers should continue to use the former fourth-round draft pick once he returns to the lineup; in the meantime, Christian Koss will fill in at second base and bat eighth on Saturday.

San Francisco Giants second baseman Tyler Fitzgerald got the hard parts done but could not hit for the cycle in Monday's 10-4 win over the Phillies. Fitzgerald went 3-for-4 with a double, a triple, a three-run home run, and a strikeout. The 27-year-old took a second-inning Taijuan Walker cutter over the left-field wall for his first long ball of the season. Fitzgerald has continued to flash the power-speed combo that garnered fantasy attention in 2024, slashing .286/.333/.476 with four RBI and four stolen bases in 47 plate appearances. He has also cut down on the strikeouts, posting a 21.3% strikeout rate after striking out at a poor 31.7% clip in 2024. He has hit at the bottom of the lineup, but the Giants have gotten off to a hot start, helping boost Fitzgerald's fantasy appeal in at least all roto leagues.
