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.

Slams leadoff homer Wade went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Cubs.

Impact Wade led the game off with a home run off Johnny Cueto Sunday. He added two walks in the game. The 27-year-old has three long balls in his last six games. He is slashing .270/.386/.541 with five RBI and six runs in 14 games since being called up to replace Darin Ruf (hamstring).

Smacks second homer Wade went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-5 win over the Cubs.

Impact Wade added some insurance for San Francisco with his fourth-inning solo shot. He's homered twice in his last four games, and he's seeing fairly consistent playing time at first base with Brandon Belt (oblique) sidelined. Wade is slashing .267/.371/.500 with two homers, three RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base in 35 plate appearances.

Goes yard in win Wade went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-1 win over the Angels.

Impact Wade has recorded a hit in all four games since he was recalled to fill in for Darin Ruf (hamstring). The 27-year-old Wade has produced a homer, two RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base through nine games this season. While he's been solid at the plate, the lefty hitter is likely to platoon with the right-handed Wilmer Flores at first base.

Swipes bag in win Wade went 1-for-2 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 11-6 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Wade pinch hit for Wilmer Flores in the seventh inning and the former stayed in the game at first base after singling, stealing second and scoring in the plate appearance. The 27-year-old Wade is 5-for-15 with a double, a stolen base, one RBI and three runs scored in seven games this season. He's likely to split time with Flores at first base while Brandon Belt (oblique) is out.

Pair of runs Friday Wade went 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI single and two runs scored in Friday's 8-5 extra-inning win over the Dodgers. He was also hit by a pitch.

Impact The 27-year-old's only hit of the contest was timely, as he knocked in Steven Duggar in the 10th inning to restore San Francisco's lead. Wade made the start at first base and hit leadoff. San Francisco's first-base depth is thin with Brandon Belt (oblique) and Darin Ruf (hamstring) both on the injured list, although Wilmer Flores (hamstring) is expected back this weekend. Wade will likely serve in a bench role while on the major-league roster.

Recalled by Giants Wade was recalled by the Giants on Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Wade will take the roster spot of Darin Ruf (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Wade has 12 plate appearances with the Giants this season, though the majority of his time has come at Triple-A Sacramento where he has hit .233/.411/.419 across 56 plate appearances.

MAY 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A Wade was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact The 27-year-old was reinstated from the injured list Thursday but will head to Triple-A with Alex Dickerson (shoulder) rejoining the active roster Sunday. Wade is 3-for-12 with a double and a walk in five big-league appearances this season.
