Tyler Fitzgerald - Playing plenty in spring Fitzgerald has gone 3-for-16 with a home run, four RBI, four walks, a stolen base and three runs scored over eight Cactus League games.
Impact Fitzgerald has a crowded path to the majors, especially after the Giants signed Jorge Soler and Matt Chapman. Fitzgerald's best asset is versatility -- he can provide cover in the infield and in center field. Even then, Marco Luciano, Casey Schmitt or Nick Ahmed are more likely to get chances at shortstop, the Giants' most open position this spring. The 26-year-old Fitzgerald hit .219 over 10 games in the majors last season, but he'll likely need to bide his time at Triple-A Sacramento again in 2024.

Sean Hjelle - Diagnosed with sprained UCL Hjelle will be shut down for a couple weeks after being diagnosed with a right elbow sprain, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Hjelle had been in position to win either a long relief job or potentially even a spot in the rotation, but now he has what could be a long-term injury. He'll be re-evaluated following the shutdown period, presumably at which point a decision will be made as to whether he needs surgery.

Jorge Soler - Already dialed in Soler has gone 5-for-10 over four Cactus League games.
Impact Soler was a little delayed getting into game action after signing with the Giants in mid-February. It hasn't slowed him down so far, as he looks to be the reliable middle-of-the-order bat the Giants expected. Soler hasn't logged an extra-base hit yet in the spring, but he's making good contact.

Why Matt Chapman is such a good fit for the Giants Chapman was always a good fit for the Giants. There's some risk, but he should help limit runs while having some offensive impact.
