Tyler Fitzgerald

27-Year-Old ShortstopSS
San Francisco Giants AAA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Fitzgerald's overall production was somewhat predicted by his work in the minors the previous two seasons, as he was a 20-20 player in both Double-A and Triple-A in the San Francisco system. He made the club out of camp, but did not see consistent playing time and was even sent back down to Triple-A until just before the All-Star break. He homered in his last start before the break and then proceeded to homer in each of the first four games after the break. That magical week was fun, but Fitzgerald only went on to homer nine more times with a .263/.311/.455 triple-slash line in the second half. The homers and steals were there, but so were the strikeouts, as Fitzgerald has consistently had below-average strikeout rates throughout his professional career. He made his living off hunting for fastballs, hitting .328 (.287 xBA) with nine of his 15 homers coming off fastballs, but his expected batting averages off nonfastballs was near .150 with a 44 percent whiff rate. The Giants signed Willy Adames and are moving Fitzgerald to second base, but there are some concerns given the swing-and-miss in his stroke. Read Past Outlooks

Dispatched to minors
SSSan Francisco Giants  AAA
June 23, 2025
The Giants optioned Fitzgerald to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Fitzgerald is slashing only .127/.197/.145 in June and had seen his playing time dip with four starts over the last seven contests. He'll head to Sacramento, where he will try to get his swing in order. The Giants will go with a combination of Brett Wisely and Christian Koss at second base until Matt Chapman (hand) returns from the injured list, at which point Casey Schmitt is likely to shift over to the keystone.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Fitzgerald really struggled in 2022 at Double-A Richmond but bounced back in a major way in 2023, slashing an impressive .292/.365/.511 with 22 home runs and 32 stolen bases between Richmond and Triple-A Sacramento. It earned him a late-season cup of coffee with the Giants and the 26-year-old popped two more homers and stole a couple more bases in 10 games. Fitzgerald struck out at a 29.4 percent rate with the big club after fanning at a 28.3 percent rate in the minors, so making contact could be an ongoing issue. He has legitimate pull-side power and stolen-base chops, though, offering some deep-league intrigue should he land a utility job.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Hoping to return soon
SSSan Francisco Giants  AAA
May 2, 2025
Fitzgerald landed on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a left rib fracture, but the infielder believes he can be back in the lineup in around two weeks, according to John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle.
ANALYSIS
Fitzgerald told Shea that he hopes to be back with the Giants after around two weeks, which would be slightly over the minimum stay of 10 days on the injured list. It remains to be seen whether Fitzgerald will be able to accomplish that goal, but the Giants will hope the third baseman can return to action sooner rather than later. He's hitting .284/.341/.432 this season.
