Losing Patrick Bailey to injury is a significant blow for the Giants, as he is arguably the best defensive catcher in the majors, with a remarkable caught stealing rate.
Bailey's ability to neutralize the running game and his top-tier pitch framing skills have made him a critical asset behind the plate for San Francisco.
Despite his recent offensive struggles, Bailey boasts an impressive .283/.354/.430 slash line earlier this season and leads catchers in Defensive Runs Saved since debuting.
With Bailey out, Curt Casali will assume catching duties, but he has only limited experience this season, hitting just .200 without a home run.
