Brandon Belt Stats

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (heel) underwent surgery to remove a bone spur in his right heel last week, and the procedure was performed by ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson. Belt traveled home last weekend and is set to begin his rehab process and physical therapy this week. The 32-year-old hit a cool .309 with a 1.016 OPS, nine home runs and 30 RBI in 51 games during the shortened 2020 season. With plenty of time until now and spring training in 2021, Belt should have plenty of time to heal up, barring any sort of setback. The left-handed hitter is unlikely to repeat for a batting average over .300 in a full season and remains on a team in more of a rebuilding phase, so his 2020 numbers shouldn't inflate his fantasy price next season.

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt is getting the day off on Thursday as the team wraps up a three-game series against the Seattle Mariners. Wilmer Flores is covering first base in the game. Left-hander Nick Margevicius is on the mound for the Mariners. Belt has gone just 2-for-19 against lefties this year, but is slashing .343/.425/.657 against righties. Expect to see Belt back in the lineup when the team faces right-hander Chris Bassitt and the Oakland Athletics on Friday.

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt had a huge game at the plate in Tuesday's 10-8 extra-innings win over the Dodgers. Belt went 4-for-5 with a single, a double, two home runs, five RBI, a walk, and a strikeout. He hit a three-run HR off of Julio Urias in the first inning and then hit a solo shot off of Kenley Jansen to tie the game in the ninth inning. The veteran has been heating up with his teammates and now owns a .313/.395/.612 slash line with five HR and 14 RBI. There are plenty of good first base options out there, but Belt could make for a cheap daily fantasy play given his recent hot streak.
