Austin Slater News
San Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Slater is getting the start at designated hitter and leading off in Thursday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This will be Slater's first start since September 6. The team has struggled to find playing time for him with a full outfield and the emergence of Wilmer Flores, who has served as the team's primary designated hitter lately. Slater's season-long numbers are great, as he's slashing .328/.426/.603 with four home runs, six RBI, 11 runs and seven stolen bases over 22 games. However, he should remain on waivers in all fantasy leagues until we see him get regular playing time.
San Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Slater was activated off of the injured list prior to Saturdays contest against Arizona and left-hander Madison Bumgarner. Slater will serve as the designated hitter, batting leadoff and drawing the distinction of being the first batter that Bumgarner faces versus his former club. Prior to hitting the IL due to a groin strain, Slater was producing career-best numbers across the board, including a 202 OPS+ and .533 xwOBAcon. Season-long fantasy managers in all but the shallowest of leagues will want to get Slater back on rosters as his value will only increase by remaining entrenched in the leadoff spot.
San Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Slater has been out of the mix since Aug. 21 due to a strained left groin, but he is reportedly nearing a return to the Major League roster. Prior to his injury, Slater was in the midst of a career year, slashing .347/.458/.653 across his first 59 plate appearances, adding six stolen bases. Slater is likely to reclaim full-time playing duties upon his activation, so aggressive fantasy managers will want to be at the ready for news of his return to the starting nine.
