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.

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.

Sitting against left-hander Wisely isn't in the Giants' lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact With left-hander Kyle Freeland set to toe the slab for Colorado, the left-handed bat of Wisely will stay put in San Francisco's dugout. Tyler Fitzgerald will serve as the Giants' shortstop instead, batting ninth.

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.

Provides clutch hitting Wisely went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a steal in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Wisely stepped up to the plate in the ninth with two outs and runners on first and second with the Giants down a run. With two strikes on him, Wisely reached out his bat and made contact on a changeup that found a hole up the middle and scored the tying run while moving the other runner over to third. The Giants wound up winning the game on a wild pitch the next at-bat. The Giants designated Nick Ahmed for assignment Tuesday after activating Thairo Estrada from the injured list, allowing Wisely to slide in as the team's new starting shortstop, though he'll likely end up platooning with Tyler Fitzgerald against lefty pitching. For the year, Wisely is slashing .285/.319/.423 with three homers, 16 RBI, 15 runs and a 6:32 BB:K in 139 plate appearances.

Sitting against southpaw Wisely is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact The lefty-hitting Wisely will dodge a matchup with Chris Sale on Wednesday. Nick Ahmed will play shortstop while Tyler Fitzgerald fills the keystone.

Idle against lefty Wisely is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact The lefty-hitting Wisely will take a seat in favor of the righty-hitting Nick Ahmed, who will cover shortstop while the Giants face off against southpaw James Paxton. Though he's still holding down a strong-side platoon role at shortstop, Wisely's run as the Giants' primary leadoff man versus right-handed pitching has come to an end in the wake of LaMonte Wade's return from the injured list Friday. Wade had actually batted second both of the previous two days against right-handed pitching, but Jorge Soler moved into the leadoff spot while Wisely dropped to eighth in the order.

Idle against lefty Wisely is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact The lefty-hitting Wisely will hit the bench for the second day in a row while the Giants face off against another southpaw (Jordan Montgomery). Tyler Fitzgerald will get the nod at shortstop Wednesday, but Wisely should see the majority of the starts at the position while Nick Ahmed (wrist) remains on the injured list.

Sitting against lefty Wisely is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Though he'll retreat to the bench with southpaw Cristopher Sanchez on the hill for Philadelphia, the lefty-hitting Wisely looks to have captured the strong side of a platoon at shortstop with the right-handed-hitting Marco Luciano, who gets the starting nod Wednesday. Wisely started in five of the previous six games, going 9-for-17 with a home run, a stolen base, five RBI and three runs.

MAY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gaining playing time at shortstop Wisely went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Monday's 8-4 win over the Phillies.

Impact After being called up from Triple-A Sacramento on May 11, Wisely started in just one of the ensuing 10 games, but the 25-year-old since appears to have moved into the strong side of a platoon at shortstop with Marco Luciano. Wisely has started in each of the last three games and in three of the Giants' previous four matchups with right-handed starting pitchers, going a collective 9-for-15 with a home run, a double, a stolen base, five RBI and three runs during that stretch. So long as he's swinging a hot bat, Wisely should continue to play ahead of Luciano until Nick Ahmed (wrist) is reinstated from the injured list.

Back in majors Wisely was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

Impact The 25-year-old utilityman slashed .311/.403/.487 with four home runs, three steals and a 21:19 K:BB in 140 plate appearances in the Pacific Coast League. Wisely primarily played second base and center field at Triple-A while also picking up a couple starts at shortstop. The lefty hitter will be available off the bench while the Giants face off against southpaw Nick Lodolo on Saturday.

MAY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Sacramento The Giants optioned Wisely to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Wisely came up from the minors on July 3 and has since slashed .132/.233/.158 across 43 plate appearances. He'll now attempt to get back on track in Triple-A while Brandon Crawford (knee) comes back from the injured list to fill Wisely's roster spot.
