Tyler Fitzgerald has been optioned to Triple-A Sacramento following struggles after returning from injury, creating a needed roster spot for pitcher Justin Verlander. The Giants have also indicated a shift in focus towards Casey Schmitt as their starting second baseman with Matt Chapman nearing a comeback. The decision is met with disappointment from fans and observers who appreciate Fitzgerald's potential, but it's seen as a necessary move given the circumstances. Additionally, there's a push for All-Star voting, with Giants fans rallying for specific players.
"Essentially, Fitzgerald has not been performing as well since coming back from the injured list after fracturing his rib. And the Giants needed a roster spot for yesterday's starting pitcher, Justin Verlander, as he returned from paternity leave."
"I'm bummed. I have liked a lot of what I've seen from Fitzgerald, and it's a bummer to see him get sent down. But I can't say it wasn't the right move."
