JUNE 28, 2025 • Associated Press

Multi-hit effort in defeat Wisely went 2-for-4 with a two-RBI double in Thursday's 12-5 loss to the Marlins.

Impact Wisely appeared in just his second game of the month and recorded his first two hits of the season. He hit a two-RBI double in the fourth inning to tie the game at 5-5 and added a single in the sixth. It was his second multi-RBI game of the season. Overall, he's slashing .143/.143/.214 with four RBI and a run scored across 16 plate appearances.

Back with big club The Giants recalled Wisely from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Wisely will take the spot on the 26-man roster vacated by Justin Verlander (personal), who was placed on the Giants' paternity list in a corresponding move. Wisely has appeared in five major-league games for the Giants this season, with his last outing taking place May 11 against the Twins. He is slashing .230/.308/.357 with six steals, five home runs and 30 RBI across 223 plate appearances in Triple-A this season.

JUNE 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Giants optioned Wisely to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

Impact The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Tyler Fitzgerald (ribs), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Wisely went 0-for-10 with two RBI since being recalled by the Giants on May 1. He'll return to Triple-A, where he is slashing .235/.325/.431 with three steals, five home runs and 19 RBI in 118 plate appearances.

MAY 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Sacramento The Giants recalled Wisely from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday.

Impact With Tyler Fitzgerald on the injured list and expected to miss extended time due to a fractured rib, the Giants will turn to Wisely to replenish their infield depth. The 25-year-old has been in the minors all season, slashing .235/.325/.431 with five homers, 19 RBI, 18 runs scored and three stolen bases through 27 games. He'll likely operate in a reserve role while Christian Koss receives the bulk of starts at the keystone.

MAY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Giants optioned Wisely to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Impact Wisely competed for a utility role this spring and hit well with an .835 OPS, but the Giants ultimately chose against including him on the Opening Day roster. The 25-year-old will play all over the diamond while at Sacramento.

MARCH 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

In mix for utility role Wisely is battling Casey Schmitt, Osleivis Basabe, Jake Lamb and Christian Koss for a utility role this spring, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Wisley is off to a strong start in spring training by hitting .462 (6-for-13) in seven games. He's likely behind Schmitt for the utility role, but the Giants may keep two backup infielders on the active roster.

MARCH 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Riding pine Saturday Wisely isn't in the Giants' lineup Saturday versus St. Louis, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wisely will get a chance to catch his breath Saturday after making three consecutive starts at second base. Casey Schmitt will fill in at the keystone and bat eighth in Wisely's stead.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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, 2024 • 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, 2024 • 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, 2024 • 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, 2024 • 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, 2024 • 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, 2024 • 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, 2024 • 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, 2024 • 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, 2024 • 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, 2024 • 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.

Impact Wisely will head to the bench along with fellow left-handed hitter LaMonte Wade as the Nationals send southpaw DJ Herz to the bump. Casey Schmitt will fill in for Wisely at the keystone.

AUGUST 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On bench again Wisely is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Washington, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact With the Giants facing a left-hander for the second straight game, Wisely will take a seat once again Tuesday. In his place, Casey Schmitt will bat ninth and play second base.

AUGUST 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not facing southpaw Wisely is absent from the starting nine for Monday's game against the Nationals.

Impact The lefty-hitting Wisely will take a seat as Washington trots out southpaw Patrick Corbin. Casey Schmitt will play the keystone Monday.

AUGUST 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Saturday Wisely isn't in the Giants' lineup for Saturday's game against Cincinnati, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Wisely has gone 2-for-12 with two RBI over his past seven games, and he'll now get a chance to rest as the Giants prepare to take on Hunter Greene and the Reds. Casey Schmitt will get the nod to start at second and bat ninth.
