Riding pine Saturday Wisely isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday versus St. Louis, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Swats three-run homer in big win Wisely went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Wisely went deep off of Blake Walston in the third inning for the Giants second three-run homer in the frame. The home run was Wisely's first homer since June 28 and his first extra-base hit since Aug. 31. He has just 10 hits in 30 games since the beginning of August and will look to find some sort of resurgence at the plate over the final five days of the season.
SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Losing out on everyday role Wisely is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact The lefty-hitting Wisely will hit the bench for a second straight game, with the Giants having faced right-handed starters in both contests. The consecutive days off could hint that Wisely has lost hold of a regular role in the middle infield after slashing an abysmal .123/.177/.158 since the beginning of August. Donovan Walton is included in the lineup for a fourth consecutive contest and may be viewed as the Giants' top option at the keystone for now.
SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Getting day off Wisely is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Wisely will retreat to the bench after he went just 1-for-17 with eight strikeouts and one walk while starting in each of the past six games. Donovan Walton will spell Wisely at second base.
SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Starting at shortstop Wisely will start at shortstop for Sunday's game against the Padres.
Impact The lefty-hitting Wisely often sits against southpaws like the Padres' (Martin Perez), but Wisely will stick in the lineup at shortstop while Tyler Fitzgerald (back) takes a seat due to injury. Donovan Walton will fill Wisely's usual spot at the keystone.
SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Absent from lineup Tuesday Wisely is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Brewers.
Impact Wisely will begin the game on the bench for the second consecutive game. Since the start of September, the second baseman has just one hit and two walks in 14 plate appearances across the five games he has played in. Marco Luciano is starting at second base and batting ninth Tuesday as he sees growing playing time.
SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Out of Sunday's lineup Wisely is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Wisely has gone 3-for-25 in his past 12 games and will sit for Sunday's series finale in San Diego. Marco Luciano is starting at second base and could be taking hold of a regular role at the position.
SEPTEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Not starting Friday Wisely is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Impact Wisely has gone 0-for-6 with one walk and two strikeouts over his last two outings. Since the beginning of August, he's slashed .135/.179/.189 with four RBI across 39 plate appearances. Marco Luciano will start at second base and bat eighth.
SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE
Getting second straight start Wisely will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Marlins.
Impact Wisely has now picked up starts in consecutive contests to close out the weekend, and he should be in store for a strong-side platoon role at the keystone after the Giants recently moved Thairo Estrada off the 40-man roster. Over 218 plate appearances with the big club this season, Wisely has supplied a .250/.286/.368 slash line to go with three home runs and two stolen bases.
SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled from Triple-A The Giants recalled Wisely from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact The Giants elected to outright Thairo Estrada to Triple-A after he cleared waivers Friday, so Wisely will now come up from the minors to replenish San Francisco's infield depth. The 25-year-old has slashed .249/.285/.363 with 24 RBI across 215 plate appearances in the majors this year, though he's gone 10-for-37 with two homers and seven RBI since returning to Sacramento on Aug. 19. As a left-handed hitter, he'll likely form a platoon at second base with the righty-hitting Casey Schmitt.
AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE
Optioned to Sacramento The Giants optioned Wisely to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact The move makes room on the 26-man roster for the reinstatement of Thairo Estrada (wrist) from the 10-day injured list. Wisely has been with the big club since May, but he saw his playing time diminish since the All-Star break, a span in which he's slashed .167/.207/.204 with six RBI across 56 plate appearances. Wisely will have an every day role in Sacramento, and he could return to the majors should the Giants need infield depth.
AUGUST 19 • ROTOWIRE
Sitting against southpaw Wisely is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.
Impact With southpaw Max Fried toeing the rubber for Atlanta, the lefty-hitting Wisely will exit the starting nine. Platoon mate Casey Schmitt will check in for Wisely at the keystone.

Picks up second steal Wisely went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Wisely has offered little in production in July with no home runs, three RBI, two runs scored and one steal on three attempts over 17 games. The infielder also has a 2:17 BB:K this month. He's been better, as evidenced by his .268/.301/.396 slash line for the year over 174 plate appearances. The emergence of Tyler Fitzgerald at shortstop has left Wisely to compete with Thairo Estrada for playing time at second base, a situation where Wisely has the platoon advantage.
JULY 25 • ROTOWIRE
Sitting Tuesday Wisely isn't in the Giants' lineup Tuesday versus the Dodgers.
Impact Wisely has not started in only two games in July, but he will be able to get to rest Tuesday with just his third game on the bench for the month. Tyler Fitzgerald has the start at shortstop in Wisely's place and his batting seventh.

JULY 13 • THESTATE.COM
Gets aboard four times Wisely went 3-for-3 with a triple, a double, a walk, two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the Twins.
Impact Wisely's offense has been all or nothing in July with three multi-hit efforts and just one his over the other seven contests. The shortstop finished a home run shy of the cycle Friday in one of his best games of the year. The triple was his first of the campaign. Wisely is slashing .286/.322/.436 with three home runs, 10 doubles, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored and one stolen base over 150 plate appearances. With Nick Ahmed released by the Giants earlier in the week, Wisely is now the starting shortstop, though he may sit out in favor of Tyler Fitzgerald against some left-handed pitchers.
