Tyler Fitzgerald has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left rib fracture, and the Giants have called up infielder Brett Wisely to fill his spot. Fitzgerald, 27, had shown significant promise last season, posting impressive statistics after becoming an everyday player. However, his performance this season has been a mixed bag, with a reduced strikeout rate but less power. His injury, possibly sustained earlier, was confirmed after an MRI revealed the fracture, cutting short his current season's development and playing time.
Fitzgerald slashed .281/.333/.519 with ten steals, 15 doubles, and 13 homers in just 255 plate appearances after becoming an everyday player following the All-Star break.
He's hitting .284/.341/.432 this year, which is solid, but elevated by a .356 BABIP, raising questions about the sustainability of his performance.
