Back in lineup Bailey (neck) is starting behind the plate Friday against the Cubs, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Neck tightness kept Bailey out of the lineup Thursday, but the issue seems to have subsided ahead of Friday's contest. The 24-year-old backstop has been on a tear since earning a promotion from Triple-A Sacramento, slashing .309/.321/.545 across 58 plate appearances.

Out with neck issue Bailey is absent from the lineup Thursday against the Rockies due to neck tightness, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bailey was supposed to start behind the plate in the Giants' series finale at Coors Field, but Blake Sabol has been pressed into duty instead. It's considered a minor issue and Bailey could be available off the bench.

Three extra-base hits in win Bailey went 3-for-5 with two doubles, one triple, one RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact Bailey took advantage of the Colorado air to pummel some extra-base hits. The catcher has logged four multi-hit efforts over his last nine contests, and he continues to see regular playing time behind the dish. He's also struck out 11 times over his last six games, and he's at a 31.6 percent strikeout rate on the year. Bailey has added a strong .309/.321/.545 slash line with two home runs, 13 RBI, six runs scored, five doubles and a triple in 15 games. It's unclear if Bailey's shown enough to stay in the majors once joey Bart (groin) is activated from the injured list.

Sits after four straight starts Bailey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Bailey will get a breather for the series finale after he started behind the plate in each of the Giants' four games while going 3-for-13 with a home run, a walk and three RBI. Though Blake Sabol will draw the nod at catcher Wednesday, Bailey appears set to receive a look as the Giants' primary backstop until Joey Bart (groin) is ready to return from the injured list.

Launches first major-league homer Bailey went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Marlins.

Impact Bailey had four homers over 28 games at the top-two levels of the minors, and he showed off that power Sunday. He went yard in the second inning to tie the game at 1-1 in just his third major-league contest. The 23-year-old catcher also showed the ability to play small ball, making a productive out in the sixth to drive in another run. Bailey slashed just .196/.300/.333 in 14 contests with Triple-A Sacramento to begin the season, but he's now poised for a chance to share time with Blake Sabol behind the dish in the majors while Joey Bart heals from a groin injury.

Contract selected by Giants Bailey had his contract selected by the Giants on Friday.

Impact Bailey will join the major-league roster after he spent 14 games with Triple-A Sacramento, struggling to a .196 average with two homers, four RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base over 51 at-bats. The 23-year-old has yet to make his MLB debut and he'll likely get that shot soon while operating as a reserve option behind Blake Sabol at catcher after Joey Bart (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday.

Promoted to Triple-A Bailey was promoted to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Impact After finishing 2022 in High-A and playing just 14 games in Double-A, the 23-year-old backstop is quickly ascending through the Giants' farm system. Bailey slashed .333/.400/.481 over 60 plate appearances with Double-A Richmond. If he's able to keep his hot streak going, there's a chance he cracks the big leagues at some point, though he would have to be added to the 40-man roster before that can happen.
