Two hits, home run Wade went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout as San Francisco fell 3-2 to the Dodgers on Monday.
Impact Wade singled to lead off the game and homered off Trevor Bauer in the third to get San Francisco on the board. He's now 4-for-10 with two home runs and a walk in four games since being recalled from Triple-A and is making a strong case to remain with the big-league club.

Smashes fifth homer Wade went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run and a walk in a 6-5 victory against the A's on Saturday.
Impact Wade blasted a two-run homer to right off A's starter Frankie Montas in the fifth to get San Francisco on the board, walked and scored in the seventh, and singled in the ninth to reach base three times for the fourth time this season. He started for the first time since being recalled from Triple-A on Friday and looks to see decent run with a strong .273/.354/.500 slash line and Brandon Belt on the IL.

Starting at first base Saturday Wade will start at first base and leadoff in Saturday's game against Oakland, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.
Impact Wade was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday with Brandon Belt (knee) landing on the injured list. He didn't start Friday against left-hander Sean Manaea but he'll get the nod Saturday against righty Frankie Montas. Wade could be in line to serve as the club's primary first baseman against right-handers until Belt returns, though he also figures to see time in the outfield.

Recalled by San Francisco Wade was recalled by the Giants on Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Wade was sent down by the Giants on Sunday, but he'll return to the major-league club after Brandon Belt (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. The 27-year-old has appeared in 26 games for San Francisco this year and has slashed .265/.344/.470 with four home runs, 13 runs, 11 RBI and two stolen bases.

Optioned to Triple-A Wade was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.
Impact Wade had been finding himself in the lineup on a regular basis, starting five straight games in left field. He was hitting well, too, posting a .265/.344/.470 slash line through 94 plate appearances on the year. He'll head to the minors for now, with Alex Dickerson returning from a back injury to take his spot in left field, but he's seemingly earned the chance to return soon whenever the Giants next need another outfielder.

Stuffs stat sheet Wade went 2-for-6 with a solo home run, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 13-7 win over Arizona.
Impact The outfielder has homered four times in the last 14 games, which accounts for all of his long balls this year. Wade is slashing .273/.360/.470 with seven RBI, 10 runs scored and two stolen bases across 76 plate appearances. He's hit well enough to earn playing time in a crowded San Francisco outfield. Wade will likely draw starts against right-handers in one of the corner outfield positions, and he often hits leadoff when in the lineup.

Back on bench Tuesday Wade is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, Mark W. Sanchez of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
Impact Wade is unlikely to see many starts against southpaws, so his absence from Tuesday's lineup comes as no surprise with San Francisco facing lefty Alex Young. Wade should continue to see semi-consistent starts against righties, though Mike Yastrzemski's recent return from the injured list could lead to less at-bats for Wade going forward.

Sits Sunday Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.
Impact For the first time since June 1, Wade will head to the bench, ending a streak of nine consecutive starts. With the Giants bringing Mike Yastrzemski back from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Wade's path to an everyday role in the San Francisco outfield could become more blocked. Wade and Steven Duggar will likely be competing for one spot in the Giants' regular outfield alongside Yastrzemski and Mike Tauchman.

Three singles in win Wade went 3-for-5 in Tuesday's 9-4 win over Texas.
Impact All three of his hits were singles. Wade hit safely in seven of nine games while Brandon Belt was out with an oblique injury. Now that Belt is back, Wade is likely to play in the outfield mostly -- he started in right field Tuesday. The 27-year-old is slashing .310/.408/.548 with three home runs, five RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base across 49 plate appearances. He'll likely compete with Mike Tauchman for playing time in right field while Mike Yastrzemski (thumb) is out.

Moves to outfield Tuesday Wade is starting in right field Tuesday against the Rangers.
Impact With Brandon Belt returning from an oblique injury, Wade will remain atop the Giants lineup but now as the club's right fielder. He'll likely see the majority of his time in the outfield going forward, with Belt back in the fold.
