Records steal in loss Fitzgerald went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Guardians.

Impact Fitzgerald was impactful in the fifth inning with a two-run single. He then stole second, and that allowed Matt Chapman to steal home for another run, though the Giants' comeback effort ultimately fell short. Fitzgerald has been good in a limited role with a .276/.329/.395 slash line, one home run, seven steals, six RBI and 12 runs scored over 82 plate appearances. He got the start at first base versus southpaw Logan Allen on Saturday, though LaMonte Wade figures to play there regularly versus right-handers.

Returns to Triple-A The Giants returned Fitzgerald to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Fitzgerald served as the Giants' 27th man for Thursday's game at Rickwood Field, and he'll now head back to the minors without logging a plate appearance. The 26-year-old has slashed .346/.448/.808 in 13 Triple-A games and would be a candidate to return to San Francisco if the Giants run into depth issues.

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.

Impact Fitzgerald opened the scoring with a third-inning blast off Clayton Kershaw. This was Fitzgerald's second homer and fourth extra-base hit over his first nine big-league games. He's hitting .250 with a 2:8 BB:K and two stolen bases in his brief audition. The versatile 26-year-old could get a long look in spring training in 2024.

Swipes two bags Fitzgerald went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 5-2 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

Impact The pair of steals were Fitzgerald's first thefts in the majors. He's hitting .273 (6-for-22) with two walks, one home run, four RBI and two runs scored across his first seven big-league games. He's been a steady presence in center field and should close out the year in a starting role.

Provides insurance Friday Fitzgerald went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-1 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Fitzgerald's ninth-inning blast produced the final score, giving the Giants a little more breathing room against their rivals. He's gone 2-for-6 with a walk and three RBI over his first two major-league games. Fitzgerald split time between Double-A Richmond and Triple-A Sacramento this year, posting a combined .292/.365/.511 slash line with 22 home runs, 78 RBI, 87 runs scored, 32 stolen bases, 26 doubles and seven triples through 121 minor-league contests. While a natural infielder, he's made his first two big-league starts in center field, which could be bad news for Mitch Haniger and Michael Conforto over the last week-plus of the season.

Another start in center field Fitzgerald is starting in center field and batting ninth Friday versus the Dodgers.

Impact It's the second straight start in center for Fitzgerald, who hit a double and drew a bases-loaded walk in his major-league debut Thursday at Dodger Stadium. Prior to his promotion, the versatile 26-year-old had posted a shiny .292/.365/.511 batting line with 22 homers and 32 steals in 121 games this season between Double-A Richmond and Triple-A Sacramento.

Earns major-league promotion The Giants selected Fitzgerald's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday.

Impact Fitzgerald will get his first taste of the majors, and might see a few starts at shortstop, as Brandon Crawford (hamstring) heads to the IL and Paul DeJong is handed his release. A fourth-round draft pick of the Giants in 2019, the 26-year-old Fitzgerald had broken out to the tune of a .292/.365/.511 batting line with 22 homers and 32 stolen bases through 121 games this season between Double-A and Triple-A.
