Impact Wade recorded a single in the fifth frame after going 0-for-6 in the Giants' previous two games.

Not starting vs. southpaw Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact The 31-year-old started Friday against Halos lefty Tyler Anderson since Casey Schmitt (oblique) was scratched from the lineup, which was Wade's first start of the season versus a southpaw.

Enters Friday's lineup Wade will start at first base and bat ninth Friday against the Angels, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Wade was originally due to get a day off Friday against left-handed starter Tyler Anderson, but an injury to Casey Schmitt (side) will force the 31-year-old back into the starting nine. Wade is 0-for-4 against southpaws so far this season and owns a .559 OPS against them across his big-league career.

Wade has been cold at the plate, going 1-for-26 with seven walks, three runs scored, three RBI and 13 strikeouts over his last nine games.

Idle vs. southpaw Wade is not in the Giants' Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle against the Yankees on Sunday, Shayna reports.

Impact With the Yankees sending Carlos Rodon to the mound, the lefty-hitting Wade will begin Sunday's game in the dugout while Casey Schmitt gets the start at first base and bats seventh. Wade has struggled as of late, going 1-for-21 with one run scored, three walks, three RBI and nine strikeouts over his last seven outings.

Knocks in three runs Friday Wade went 1-for-3 with one run scored, two walks and three RBI in Friday's 9-1 rain-shortened win over the Yankees.

Impact Wade played a big role in chasing Marcus Stroman out of the first inning, when the former smacked a double to right field to bring home Matt Chapman and Heliot Ramos. Wade brought home another run in the sixth frame when he drew a bases-loaded walk at the top of the sixth inning in what was ultimately the final play of the game due to inclement weather. Wade entered Friday's game having gone 0-for-15 with seven strikeouts over his last five games and was demoted from the leadoff to the sixth spot in the lineup, so his bounce-back effort is hopefully a sign of things to come for the 31-year-old first baseman.

Demoted to six spot Friday Wade is starting at first base and batting sixth in Friday's contest against the Yankees.

Impact Each of Wade's first nine starts this season came from the leadoff spot, but he's been demoted after going hitless across his last five tilts. Mike Yastrzemski has been elevated to the leadoff spot for the Giants on Friday.

Rough start continues Monday Wade went 0-for-4 during Monday's 2-0 loss to the Reds.

Impact Wade struck out twice Monday and is currently tied for the team-worst mark in strikeouts (13) over the club's first 10 outings. The 31-year-old started the season 0-for-16 in his first five appearances, though he had a two-game stretch in which he went 4-for-7 with a home run and two additional runs. However, Wade's struggles have continued in the Giants' last three games, as he's gone 0-for-11 while striking out six times. He's slashing .118/.162/.324 with four extra-base hits in 34 at-bats.

Three extra-base hits Friday Wade went 3-for-6 with a triple, two doubles, one walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Mariners.

Impact Wade was 0-for16 over his first five games of the season, but it looks like his bat is waking up. He has four extra-base hits over the last two contests -- he hit his home run Wednesday in Houston and showed off with a strong game atop the order Friday. Power isn't necessarily a huge part of his playing style. He slugged just .381 last season, but he got on base at a .380 clip thanks to a 15.8 percent walk rate. Wade will likely function as a strong-side platoon option at first base for the bulk of 2025, and his on-base skills position him well as a leadoff option in that role.
