Austin Slater Stats

San Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Slater is heading to the bench on Monday as the team faces right-hander Dylan Bundy and the Los Angeles Angels. LaMonte Wade Jr. is leading off in the game while Steven Duggar joins Alex Dickerson and Mike Yastrzemski in the outfield. This will be the second consecutive time Slater is out of the lineup against a righty. He's slashing just .203/.257/.333 against righties this year, while he has a .264/.400/.566 slash line against lefties. Going forward, he'll likely start just about every game against lefties while he's more of a coin flip against righties.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Slater went 2-for-3 with a single and a solo home run in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Dodgers. Slater hit a third-inning Clayton Kershaw offering into the right-center seats for his seventh HR of the season. The 28-year-old now owns a .230/.324/.434 slash line with 17 RBI and seven steals. The power-speed potential is intriguing, but Slater's fantasy value remains limited so long as he cannot hit for a better average.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Slater played his part in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks, tying the game in the eighth inning with a pinch-hit two-run home run. Entering the game to hit with a runner on second, Slater launched an Alex Young breaking ball into the second deck in left field for his sixth HR of the season. Despite the HR, the 28-year-old has not been able to get things going this season after an encouraging 2020 and is now slashing just .219/.315/.412 with 16 RBI and seven stolen bases. The speed is nice, but Slater's fantasy value will remain limited until he can start to get more hits.
