BRETT WISELY NEWS

Provides clutch hitting Wisely went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a steal in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Wisely stepped up to the plate in the ninth with two outs and runners on first and second with the Giants down a run. With two strikes on him, Wisely reached out his bat and made contact on a changeup that found a hole up the middle and scored the tying run while moving the other runner over to third. The Giants wound up winning the game on a wild pitch the next at-bat. The Giants designated Nick Ahmed for assignment Tuesday after activating Thairo Estrada from the injured list, allowing Wisely to slide in as the team's new starting shortstop, though he'll likely end up platooning with Tyler Fitzgerald against lefty pitching. For the year, Wisely is slashing .285/.319/.423 with three homers, 16 RBI, 15 runs and a 6:32 BB:K in 139 plate appearances.

Idle against lefty Wisely is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact The lefty-hitting Wisely will take a seat in favor of the righty-hitting Nick Ahmed, who will cover shortstop while the Giants face off against southpaw James Paxton. Though he's still holding down a strong-side platoon role at shortstop, Wisely's run as the Giants' primary leadoff man versus right-handed pitching has come to an end in the wake of LaMonte Wade's return from the injured list Friday. Wade had actually batted second both of the previous two days against right-handed pitching, but Jorge Soler moved into the leadoff spot while Wisely dropped to eighth in the order.

Idle against lefty Wisely is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact The lefty-hitting Wisely will hit the bench for the second day in a row while the Giants face off against another southpaw (Jordan Montgomery). Tyler Fitzgerald will get the nod at shortstop Wednesday, but Wisely should see the majority of the starts at the position while Nick Ahmed (wrist) remains on the injured list.

Sitting against lefty Wisely is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Though he'll retreat to the bench with southpaw Cristopher Sanchez on the hill for Philadelphia, the lefty-hitting Wisely looks to have captured the strong side of a platoon at shortstop with the right-handed-hitting Marco Luciano, who gets the starting nod Wednesday. Wisely started in five of the previous six games, going 9-for-17 with a home run, a stolen base, five RBI and three runs.

Gaining playing time at shortstop Wisely went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 8-4 win over the Phillies.

Impact After being called up from Triple-A Sacramento on May 11, Wisely started in just one of the ensuing 10 games, but the 25-year-old since appears to have moved into the strong side of a platoon at shortstop with Marco Luciano. Wisely has started in each of the last three games and in three of the Giants' previous four matchups with right-handed starting pitchers, going a collective 9-for-15 with a home run, a double, a stolen base, five RBI and three runs during that stretch. So long as he's swinging a hot bat, Wisely should continue to play ahead of Luciano until Nick Ahmed (wrist) is reinstated from the injured list.

Impact The lefty-hitting Wisely will see his streak of nine consecutive starts at the keystone come to an end while David Villar mans second base in his stead as the Giants face off against southpaw Tarik Skubal. At least until Brandon Crawford (knee) returns from the injured list, Wisely should have a clear path to everyday playing time versus right-handers, and he was even included in the lineup in Sunday's 6-1 loss against the Nationals and southpaw MacKenzie Gore.

JULY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Getting regular burn at keystone Wisely will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Reds, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Wisely appears to have overtaken Casey Schmitt as the Giants' preferred option at the keystone with Thairo Estrada (hand) on the shelf; Wisely has now picked up five starts at second base over the past six contests. The Giants will have room for both rookies in the infield Monday, however, as Schmitt will start at shortstop while the lefty-hitting Brandon Crawford exits the lineup against Reds southpaw Brandon Williamson.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back with Giants Wisely was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of Monday's game against the Mariners, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Impact Wisely will take the roster spot of Thairo Estrada, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a fractured hand. Wisely provides the Giants with plenty of versatility, as he's drawn starts at second base, third, shortstop and in left and center field so far this season.

JULY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat Saturday Wisely isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against Baltimore, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Wisely has logged a base hit in each of his last two games, but his .517 OPS over the last seven days will send him to the bench Saturday. Casey Schmitt will start at second base instead, allowing Brandon Crawford to start at short and bat ninth.

Impact The lefty-hitting rookie has been serving as the primary replacement at second base for the injured Thairo Estrada (wrist) of late, but he'll take a seat for the series opener with Pittsburgh bringing southpaw Rich Hill to the mound. Casey Schmitt will check in for Wisely at the keystone.

MAY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Filling in for injured Estrada Wisely will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Brewers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact For the sixth time in seven games, Wisely will be manning second base, and he looks like he'll have some leash as the Giants' main option at the position after Thairo Estrada (wrist) was moved to the injured list Saturday. The lefty-hitting Wisely could find himself on the bench against select southpaws, though he appears poised to remain at least a strong-side platoon player while Estrada is on the shelf.

MAY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pops second homer Wisely went 2-for-5 with a double, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 15-1 rout of the Brewers.

Impact He took Freddy Peralta deep in the third inning as part of a seven-run frame for the Giants. Wisely's only other homer this season came May 6, and while his .240/.269/.420 slash line on the month is a step up from his seasonal numbers, and the 24-year-old utility player could pick up more playing time at the keystone if Thairo Estrada's sore wrist becomes a bigger issue.
