Homers in Monday's loss Wade (back) went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 10-4 loss to the Phillies.
Impact Wade's absence was limited to one game as he battles recurring back soreness that has bothered him a handful of times over recent weeks. He endured an 0-for-16 slump over six games recently, but he's 3-for-8 with a pair of homers over his last two contests. For the season, he's at a .259/.383/.421 slash line with 13 homers, 35 RBI, 51 runs scored, 14 doubles and two stolen bases over 108 contests.
AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Makes return to starting nine Wade (back) will start at first base and bat leadoff in Monday's game against the Phillies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Wade is back in action after a back issue kept him on the bench for Sunday's 4-3 win over Atlanta. He'll likely remain an inconsistent member of the lineup versus left-handed pitching, but a healthy Wade should continue to serve as the Giants' main table setter against righties.
AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Not in Sunday's lineup Wade (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Impact Wade went 2-for-4 with a solo home run before exiting Saturday's contest with an apparent back injury, and he continues to be evaluated, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. The 29-year-old may not have started Sunday regardless of the injury since lefty Max Fried is pitching for Atlanta. Wilmer Flores is manning first base while J.D. Davis receives a turn at designated hitter.

Impact Wade got Saturday's game started with a bang, leading off the first inning with a solo home run off Yonny Chirinos.

On the year, Wade is slashing .259/.385/.414 across 107 games.
AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Wade will begin this one on the bench even as Tampa Bay starts right-hander Aaron Civale, who has held righties to a .576 OPS this season. Granted, he's been hard on lefties, too (.656 OPS). Wilmer Flores is starting at first base Wednesday.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Resting versus lefty Wade isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against Texas, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact After slumping late in July, Wade has gone 7-for-18 (.389) with two home runs and four RBI over his first five games in August. The Giants continue to have Wade at first base while finding other spots for the red-hot Wilmer Flores. For the season, Wade is at a .270/.397/.430 slash line with 11 home runs, 32 RBI, 47 runs scored and two stolen bases through 97 games.

Accounts for lone run in win Wade went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 1-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

He's homered twice in his last three games, going 4-for-10 with a walk in that span. The first baseman is up to 11 long balls, 30 RBI, 46 runs scored, two stolen bases and a .268/.396/.431 slash line through 95 contests.

LaMonte Wade Jr. homered and six San Francisco pitchers combined for the shutout as the Giants edged the Arizona Diamondbacks 1-0 to take three of four games in the seriesAUGUST 3, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Clubs 10th homer Wade went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Wade had gone 0-for-9 with two walks over his previous three games before getting back on track Tuesday. His seventh-inning solo shot ended up being the difference in the Giants' win, and it was his 10th homer of the year. The first baseman is up to a .267/.398/.421 slash line with 29 RBI, 45 runs scored and two stolen bases over 93 contests. He continues to occupy the leadoff spot versus right-handed pitchers.
AUGUST 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Hitless in return Wade (back) went 0-for-5 in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Diamondbacks.
Impact Wade had a three-game absence with back tightness. While the 29-year-old has settled in atop the order versus right-handed pitchers, he struggled in July, hitting just .180 with one extra-base hit and an 8:14 BB:K over 18 contests. With Wilmer Flores hitting well and in need of a steadier spot in the lineup, it wouldn't be surprising for that to come at the expense of either Wade or J.D. Davis.
AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Back in lineup Wade (back) is starting at first base and batting leadoff Monday against Arizona, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Back tightness has kept Wade out of San Francisco's lineup for each of its last three games, but the 29-year-old is set to return for Monday's series opener with the D-backs. Wade has been in a bit of a slump at the plate lately, slashing just .192/.364/.192 across 33 plate appearances since the All-Star break.
AUGUST 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Still sitting Sunday Wade (back) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Red Sox, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact The 29-year-old will sit for the third straight game due to back tightness, though he may have been on the bench regardless with lefty Brennan Bernardino starting for Boston, though he's only serving as an opener. It's unclear if Wade will be available off the bench, and he should continue to be considered day-to-day.

Out again Saturday Wade (back) isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday against Boston, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact Back tightness kept Wade out of Friday's series opener, at it will cost him at least one more start Saturday. Wilmer Flores will take over as San Francisco's first baseman and bat second while Wade recovers.
JULY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nursing back tightness Wade was unavailable for Friday's game against the Red Sox due to back tightness, Steve Kroner of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Wade was out of the lineup against an opposing righty starter in Kutter Crawford, and Giants manager Gabe Kapler clarified after the game that Wade's absence was due to injury (not performance related). With a .535 OPS in July, Wade could be at risk of losing out on starts -- or at least falling in the order vs. RHP -- if he doesn't pick it up soon. He should be considered day-to-day for now.
JULY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
On bench Friday Wade is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Impact He finds himself on the bench against a right-hander (Kutter Crawford) as Wilmer Flores starts at first base. Wade has been regular atop the order against right-handed pitching, but he's batting just .205/.308/.227 so far in July and the Giants are looking to spark their sputtering offense. With that, it wouldn't be surprising to see Wade cede more starts to Flores moving forward.
