Rotowire
Fitzgerald went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-1 victory over the Rays.
The 27-year-old filled in for Casey Schmitt (forearm) at second base for the second consecutive contest and made the most of it. Fitzgerald cracked a 398-foot solo shot off Tampa Bay reliever Mason Englert in the seventh to go back-to-back with Drew Gilbert. After a breakout rookie campaign in 2024, Fitzgerald has struggled with a .220/.278/.335 slash line, four homers, nine steals, 19 runs scored and 14 RBI across 233 plate appearances this season.

Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Back in majors
Rotowire
The Giants recalled Fitzgerald from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Fitzgerald has started exclusively at second base with the major-league team this season. However, he played two games in right field after being optioned to Sacramento on July 9 and could see time there with San Francisco this time around. After the demotion, the 27-year-old slashed .250/.333/.346 with two home runs and 28 strikeouts across 117 plate appearances. With his promotion Tuesday, the Giants optioned Carson Whisenhunt to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

Rotowire
Fitzgerald went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Athletics.
Fitzgerald gave the Giants a little more breathing room with his eighth-inning homer.

Fitzgerald is still seeing a starting role at second base, but with Matt Chapman back from the injured list, Brett Wisely could be in contention for more time at second base until Casey Schmitt (hand) is ready to return as well.

Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Three-hit day in win
Rotowire
Fitzgerald went 3-for-4 with a double during Friday's 2-0 victory over the Marlins.
Fitzgerald delivered fantastic production out of the ninth spot in the lineup yet again for the Giants, picking up his third three-hit game of the season and snapping a three-game drought without a hit in the process. He also didn't strike out for the first time in seven contests. Slashing .277/.333/.403 on the season, Fitzgerald does not have numbers typical of a batter hitting in the nine slot but that's where he has been used lately. The 27-year-old will hope to discover his power stroke, as he's without an extra-base hit in his last six games.
