Gets Saturday off Posey will not start Saturday's game against the Astros, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Posey missed Thursday's game against the Dodgers after taking a foul tip off his mask the day prior, but he returned to the lineup Friday to go 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored and an RBI. He certainly looked healthy, and the Giants haven't indicated that Saturday's absence is anything other than a routine one for the veteran backstop. Curt Casali will catch Alex Wood in his absence.

Back in action Posey (head) will return to the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Posey left Wednesday's game against the Dodgers after taking a foul tip off his mask. He avoided a concussion, so it's no surprise to see him back after just a one-day absence. He'll bat second and catch Kevin Gausman.

SF Giants provide update on Buster Posey's status ahead of series finale vs. Dodgers Posey exited Wednesday’s game against the Dodgers after taking a foul tip off his catcher’s mask.

JULY 29, 2021 • MERCURYNEWS.COM

Not in Thursday's lineup Posey (head) will sit Thursday against the Dodgers, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Posey sits after taking a foul tip off his mask Wednesday, though he hasn't been diagnosed with a concussion. The Giants have managed his workload very carefully throughout the season, and he's started five of the last six games behind the plate, so he likely would have been on the bench Thursday regardless of what happened in Wednesday's game. Curt Casali will get the nod in his absence.

Avoids concussion diagnosis Giants manager Gabe Kapler said after Wednesday's 8-0 loss to the Dodgers that Posey (head) wasn't immediately diagnosed with a concussion after he experienced dizziness when he wa...

Impact While Kapler was careful to note that Posey isn't out of the woods for a concussion just yet, the skipper said the veteran backstop is "feeling better" and will be re-evaluated Thursday. Given that Posey has been diagnosed with two documented concussions since the 2017 season, the Giants are likely to take extra caution with the 34-year-old, who will most likely be withheld from the lineup in Thursday's series finale.

On base three times in win Posey went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers.

Impact The catcher hit a game-tying RBI single in the sixth inning for San Francisco's first run. Posey went on to the score the go-ahead run in the eighth on an error by Cody Bellinger. Through 261 plate appearances, Posey has a .327/.418/.544 slash line, 13 home runs, 31 RBI and 40 runs scored. While he typically sees rest every third game or so, he's been a productive option when in the lineup.
