Austin Slater Stats

San Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Slater (finger) was held out of the Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. It marked the fourth game in a row that Slater has missed. He dislocated his pinky finger last week, so the team is giving him extra time off. Clearly, Slater still isn't ready to play, but it doesn't sound like he'll be placed on the injured list. Fantasy managers should expect him to return within the next few days.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Slater did not start Friday night's game against the Colorado Rockies, but came off the bench to go 1-for-2 with two RBI and a stolen base. Slater now has 10 steals on the year to go with a .767 OPS and five home runs. While Slater is stuck in a short-side platoon, like much of the Giants lineup, he's been productive in his opportunities. He'd be most valuable to fantasy managers in points formats with daily lineup changes, where his .376 OBP will be most useful.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Slater was atop the lineup again Sunday, and he delivered by reaching base four times. Slater went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, and two runs scored. Slater has quietly put up an .867 OPS in 177 plate appearances this season. He's slashing .455/.520/.545 in a torrid July and would be well worth a short-term pickup if he maintains his performance after the All-Star break. With five homers and six steals this year, Slater offers fantasy managers a bit of everything.
