Exits with knee discomfort Posey was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets with knee discomfort, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Posey was checked out by an athletic trainer during the fourth inning and initially remained in the contest, but he was replaced in the field for the following frame. The Giants were already leading the contest 7-0, so there's a chance the removal was precautionary. Curt Casali took over behind the plate and will have an increased role should Posey be forced to miss any time.

Homers in consecutive games Posey went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-2 win over Arizona.

Impact The catcher's third-inning solo shot was ultimately all San Francisco needed to get the win, though the offense still totaled four homers. Posey has homered in back-to-back games for the first time since the season-opening series versus Seattle. He's up to 15 long balls, 39 RBI, 51 runs scored and 13 doubles while slashing .336/.429/.560 through 301 plate appearances. Since he's played on consecutive days, Posey will likely be spelled behind the dish by Curt Casali for Thursday's series opener versus Colorado.
