Another day, another Tyler Fitzgerald home run 😤

In 2025, Fitzgerald, 28, opened the season as the Giants’ top option at second base.

He got out to a slow start, however, and hit the injured list in early May due to a rib fracture. He only missed 12 days.

Fitzgerald returned and continued to struggle at the plate. By late June, he’d been optioned to Triple-A Sacramento.

He was recalled a week later and spent most of the remaining time on the ’25 calendar oscillating between Sacramento and San Francisco.

Overall, Fitzgerald finished out the season with a .217/.278/.327 slash line and a 28.8% strikeout rate.

Fitzgerald suited up in 20 games in Spring Training, slashing .189/.184/.378 with one homer and seven RBI.

Fitzgerald was selected by the Giants in the fourth round of the MLB Amateur Draft in 2019.
