Reinstated from injured list Casali (concussion) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list Saturday.

Impact Casali spent a week on the injured list but will start behind the plate and bat ninth Saturday against the Reds after he cleared the league's concussion protocol. Joey Bart has been struggling at the plate this season, so Casali had moved into a timeshare at catcher prior to his absence.

Likely to return over weekend Casali (concussion) has made good progress in recent days and could be activated from the 7-day injured list this weekend, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Casali has yet to formally clear MLB's concussion protocol, but he looks like he might be able to do so by the time he's first eligible to return from the IL on Saturday. Prior to sustaining the head injury, Casali appeared to be moving into a timeshare at catcher with the struggling Joey Bart, who is hitting .171 on the season.

Placed on injured list Casali was placed on the 7-day concussion injured list Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Casali was hit by a foul tip on his mask during Friday's loss to the Padres, and he'll be unavailable for at least a week after being diagnosed with a concussion. However, the Giants are hopeful that the 33-year-old will be able to return after missing the minimum of seven days. Michael Papierski's contract was selected by the Giants, and he'll start behind the dish Saturday against San Diego.

Impact Casali went 0-for-1 with an RBI and a walk to begin Friday's matchup, but he was replaced late in the game and evaluated for a concussion. While manager Gabe Kapler said the backstop was feeling better after the game, he'll continue to be monitored to determine whether he's dealing with a concussion.

Swats two long balls Monday Casali went 3-for-4 with two home runs, three total runs and four total RBI in Monday's 7-6 victory versus Colorado.

Impact Batting out of the No. 9 spot in the order, Casali drove in each of the Giants' first four runs with a solo homer in the third inning and a three-run shot in the fifth. This was Casali's third career multi-homer game and his first since 2015. The backup catcher has been red hot over his past four contests, going 7-for-10 with three homers, eight RBI, four runs and three walks.

Homers in win Casali went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 8-2 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Casali capped off a five-run eighth inning with his blast off Cardinals reliever T.J. McFarland. This was Casali's first homer of the season, and just his third extra-base hit. The catcher is slashing a solid .256/.333/.372 with five RBI, four runs scored and two doubles through 48 plate appearances. He'll likely continue to split time behind the dish with Joey Bart, though Casali's been the more consistent of the Giants' two backstops in recent games.

Best game of season Casali went 3-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Tuesday's 9-2 win over the Rockies.

Impact Joey Bart received Tuesday off and Casali made the most of his opportunity to start behind the dish. Entering Tuesday, Casali had just seven hits all season before a fantastic performance. He's now slashing .250/.318/.300 with three RBI, three runs scored and a pair of doubles in 44 plate appearances. If he can show some consistency at the plate, Casali could challenge to make the catcher position more of a timeshare, but the Giants will likely be lenient with Bart in his first full major-league campaign.

Sharing work with Bart of late Casali will start at catcher and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Casali has now picked up five starts behind the plate over the Giants' last 10 games, with nominal No. 1 catcher Joey Bart receiving the same workload. Manager Gabe Kapler hasn't suggested that the two backstops will be deployed in a timeshare all season, but Casali at least looks as though he'll play more frequently than the typical No. 2 catcher. Casali has yet to offer much from a fantasy perspective this season, as he enters Monday's game with a .158/.200/.211 slash line and 45 percent strikeout rate across 20 plate appearances.
